<human>: Is it true that a lot of the food we eat is actually derived from insects?
<bot>: Yes, it’s true. Insects are an important part of our diet and provide many essential nutrients. For example, crickets are high in protein, while mealworms are high in iron. Beetles are also rich sources of zinc. Insects can be eaten whole, like locusts, or ground up into powder for use as flour or meal.
