Re: Superworms as a staple?
It is my understanding that superworms are an acceptable staple but super mealworms are not. The superworms are morio larvae and naturally attain their large size. Mealworms are a different, smaller species that is given a hormone that causes them to grow large. You can typically tell the difference between them because super mealworms have a uniformly light shaded body and usually sell for 1/2 to 1/3 the price of morio superworms.
