Implication

This systematic review examines nutritional benefits and anti-nutrient concerns of edible insects, highlighting implications for sustainable diets.

Key Points

  • Edible insects contain significant amounts of protein and essential amino acids, making them nutritionally valuable.
  • Concerns over anti-nutrients and heavy metals in edible insects may limit their acceptance and consumption.
  • Global and regional studies identify key nutritional benefits while indicating areas needing further investigation.
  • The review highlights the potential of entomophagy, especially in countries like India, to contribute to sustainable food sources.
