Abstract
Global food production is anticipated to rise along with the growth of the global population. As a result, creative solutions must be devised to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious, affordable, and safe food. Consequently, including insects in diets has the potential to improve global food and nutrition security. This paper aims to share recent findings by covering edible termites as the main aspect, from their consumption record until consumer acceptance. A total of 53 termite species are reported as edible ones and distributed in 6 biogeographic realms. Generally, termites have a nutrient composition that is suitable for human consumption, and cooked termites are a better dietary choice than their raw counterparts. Besides, increasing customer interest in eating termite-based food can be achieved by making it more palatable and tastier through various cooking processes, that is, boiling, frying, grilling, roasting, smoking, and sun-drying. Moreover, edible termites can also be used as a new source of medication by exhibiting antimicrobial activity. Regarding their advantages, it is strongly encouraged to implement a seminatural rearing system to sustain the supply of edible termites. Overall, this paper makes it evident that termites are an important natural resource for food or medicine. Hence, the long-term objective is to stimulate scientific inquiry into the potential of edible insects as an answer to the problem of global food security.

Keto friendly? Will they destroy morning wood?
Where’s that India ?
dung beetles
the perfect solution to saving the planet
think about it
might have to work on the name
“eat sh&t and save the plant!”
“the potential of edible insects as an answer to the problem of global food security.”
Or we could stop the endless phookin’ wars in every starving 3rd world shiitehole, start planting crops, raising livestock, and fish farming to make more food.
I vote for second option.
Populations are collapsing so there will be more food to go around.

Termites seem to be in the news an awful lot recently...looks like our overlords are not satisfied with us dining on blow flies, crickets and mealworms.
I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly
Alas she died
Protein is protein..............
I vill not eat ze bugs!
The Globalists & elites are going to eat this too, right? If Climate Change is so serious, then we must ALL do our part.
I want Klaus Schaub and Bill Gates to be the first to eat ze bugs.
Another topic that was no doubt discussed at length in Davos Switzerand over lobster, caviar, champagne, and hookers.
Part of the reason humans do not eat bugs as a major food source is because their bodies lack certain amino acids which means they do not fill the same niche that meat from mammals, fowl and fish does. They also have something called chitin which is not only indigestible by humans but, if eaten in high enough quality, will give you a terminal case of constipation.
Even among HG societies bugs are a starvation food.
All while our government pays some farmers to keep land fallow. Most of that is ostensibly to keep from oversupplying the food market and making food prices too low for farmers to survive.
Termites eat our houses, we eat them. Way to turn wood into a high-density food source for humanity.
Although I would rather feed the termites to chickens that lay eggs, and at the end of their days as an egg machine, may then be turned into chicken stew.
Bugs ain’t Kosher, are they?
They eat anything they can get their hands on, including other members of their species. They’ve even been known to attack and eat baby gorillas.
I suggest make ALL DEMOCRATS eat ONLY BUGS for 5 years, then and only then come back to us with the results.
These morons who want to eat bugs, EAT THEM FOR 5 YEARS.
SHOW us by example. Otherwise STFU and Go To Hell!!!
If the researchers can’t supply their favorite recipes, they have no credibility.
