100% Tenebrio molitor Crude Protein ≥ 53% Microwave Dried EU GMP+ & FDA Registered Bulk & OEM Supply
EXECUTIVE PRODUCT OVERVIEW Our feed-grade Dried Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor larvae) are reared exclusively on traceable, grain-based substrates (wheat bran and cereal by-products) in climate-controlled facilities in Shandong, China. Processed via industrial color sorting, multi-stage sifting, metal detection, and low-temperature microwave drying, our whole dried larvae deliver 53%–55%+ crude protein, 23%–28% essential lipids, and 18 amino acids with zero artificial preservatives or fillers. |
Guaranteed Nutritional Composition & Lab Profile
Dried yellow mealworms provide a concentrated bio-available matrix of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, chitin, and essential trace minerals (phosphorus, iron, potassium, sodium).

Quality Comparison: Our Microwave-Dried Standard vs. Low-Grade Supply
✔ Our Export-Grade Dried Mealworms • Uniform Golden Color: Even microwave drying prevents burnt or blackened heads. • ≥95% Whole Intact Larvae: Puffed, plump body structure with minimal broken dust at the bottom of the bag. • Zero Foreign Debris: Triple-sifted and passed through industrial metal detectors (no bran residue or frass). • Low Acid & Peroxide Value: Freshly processed batches ensure high palatability for birds, pets, and fish. | ✘ Unverified / Hot-Air Roasted Supply • Dark Brown / Scorched Larvae: Uneven drum heating destroys lysine and denatures digestible protein. • High Breakage (>15% Crushed): Fragile shells shatter during transit, causing customer complaints in retail packs. • Hidden Moisture (>9%): Leads to condensation, mold growth, and ammonia odor inside ocean containers. • Untraceable Substrates: Risk of heavy metal accumulation or non-compliance with EU/US feed laws. |

Frequently Asked Questions (B2B Procurement)
Q1. What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and sample policy?
We provide free lab evaluation samples (200g–500g) along with our latest batch COA so your QA team can verify protein, moisture, and intact rate prior to ordering. Trial LCL pallet orders and full 20GP/40HQ container loads are both supported.
Q2. How do you prevent breakage and moisture absorption during ocean transit?
Every bulk bag features a food-grade polyethylene (PE) moisture-barrier inner liner sealed immediately after microwave cooling, housed inside a rigid 5-ply corrugated export carton or multi-wall Kraft sack. Container desiccant poles are hung inside FCL shipments to eliminate maritime condensation.
Q3. Can you customize packaging with our brand logo and language?
Yes. Our OEM/ODM team supports custom stand-up zipper pouches, printed cartons, and plastic buckets with your artwork, guaranteed analysis panel, and UPC/EAN barcodes, ready for direct distribution.
