What Are Dried Mealworms?
Dried mealworms are the dehydrated larval stage of Tenebrio molitor, a species belonging to the family Tenebrionidae (order Coleoptera). The larvae are harvested at peak biomass, then processed through hot-air drying or freeze-drying to remove moisture while preserving nutritional integrity. The finished product presents as golden-brown, firm, segmented larvae with a characteristic nutty aroma widely accepted by birds, reptiles, fish, and poultry.
Dried Mealworms Breeding and Rearing Process
Our Tenebrio molitor colonies are reared in climate-controlled indoor facilities maintained at 26–28°C and 60–70% relative humidity. Larvae are fed on a certified grain-based substrate free from pesticides and heavy metals. At the optimal larval stage — typically 10–12 weeks post-hatching — they are harvested, blanched, and conveyed through continuous-belt hot-air dryers at 70–80°C to achieve a final moisture content below 5%, ensuring microbial safety and extended shelf stability.
Dried Mealworms Biological Specifications
Our bulk dried mealworms meet the following verified parameters: larval body length of 20–32 mm at harvest; crude protein content ≥52% on a dry matter basis; crude fat content of 28–32%; moisture ≤5%; and ash content ≤4%. Salmonella, E. coli, and aflatoxin levels are routinely tested and comply with EU Feed Hygiene Regulation (EC) No 183/2005. Shelf life is 18–24 months under cool, dry storage conditions in sealed packaging.
