Although wheat worm contains a lot of trace elements necessary for human body, it has not been used for cooking at present, so it is recommended not to eat it. Dracunculiasis was introduced from Southeast Asian countries in recent years, and its nutritional value far exceeds that of larvae crickets and Tenebrio molitor.

Because it contains a large number of trace elements necessary for human body, it is believed that it will soon replace Tenebrio molitor and enter hotels and restaurants. After careful processing, it will become a big dish for people, and it will be welcomed by people from all walks of life in large and medium-sized cities.
