Did you know that The black soldier fly’s remarkable ability to transform nearly any kind of organic waste into protein could revolutionize global food supplies? Yes. They make use of waste all through their life cycle and will cost you as low as zero naira to produce 1kg(#700)

They v ability to transform nearly any kind of organic waste — cafeteria refuse, manure, even toxic algae — into high-quality protein, all while leaving a smaller carbon footprint than it found... It is safe! And climate friendly.
They are not carriers of diseases.😘😘

The United Nations, which already warns that animal-rich diets cannot stretch that far long term, is encouraging governments and businesses to turn to insects to fulfill the planet’s protein needs.

A black soldier fly larva can consume twice its weight in food each day. On its 14-day journey from hatchling to pupa, a single larva will grow nearly an inch long and increase its weight by a factor of 10,000.

They could be an ecological game-changer by consuming rotting food which emits millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But when maggots consume food waste, they take all that carbon with them.

They have a pleasant, neutral, nutty flavor to them. Slather them in powdered ranch or barbecue seasoning for noodles *YUMMY*
