25 Aug 2022 --- Scientists have recently discovered that mealworms can be transformed into a “meat-like” flavoring that could aid in searching for more sustainable meat sources. With the addition of heat, sugar and some consumer opinions, the team created a “meat-like” taste from the mealworms. The researchers from Wonkwang University in South Korea studied the mealworms throughout their life stages to build knowledge of their flavor potential to understand how the insects can make the best ingredient.
