Fat and fiber values are 28% and 6%, respectively. Live mealworms have a protein value of 20%, fat value of 13%, and 2% fiber. Based on their nutritional makeup, dried mealworms overall have more nutritional value.Many prepare their mealworms meals by either pan-frying or oven baking them.While the UK has banned them, they are enjoyed throughout the EU, United States and Asia, particularly in the southeast of the continent.But the midfielder is unfazed, and maintains: “I think they are terrific.”Andrich’s revelation is the latest insect-related development from Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign.Most read in Euro 2024CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBees built a nest at the Stuttgart Arena on the eve of their group-stage clash with Hungary.And mosquitoes invaded their training camp last week, stinging several players.Euro 2024’s sexiest players revealedJulian Nagelsmann’s men return to Stuttgart tomorrow for their quarter-final against Spain.Meet Germany’s Euro 2024 WagsGermany’s Wags range from a glam architect to a leading equestrian and a fashion model.Dani ter Stegen (Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s wife)One of Germany’s most popular Wags with over 600,000 Instagram followers.
