The Nutritional Value of Locusts

Locusts are one of many species of insect considered edible, and they are prepared in numerous ways, ranging from dried to smoked to fried.

Protein

Locusts, like many insects, are an excellent source of protein. According to the book "Insects" by Steve Parker, species of locusts vary in protein content from about 50 percent of dry weight to almost 60 percent, making them denser in protein than cows.

Fat

The percentage of fat in desert locusts is lower than their percentage of protein, but still a reasonable source, at almost 12 percent, according to a 2001 edition of the "Journal of King Saud University."

Other Nutrients

Locusts also contain adequate amounts of iodine, phosphorus, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, as well as traces of calcium, magnesium and selenium.
