Insects Contain many Nutrients

| Many insects are edible and contain valuable nutrients such as iron. Although iron is widely available it is difficult for the body to make use of it if it is not digested with some meat. Some larvae contain as much iron as beef and hence offer an alternative to beef, in particular, since the absorption of the iron when eaten is higher. |
