These are roast dried and not live mealworms! 

Roast dried mealworms are 100% natural. Though they are dehydrated, they are still packed with natural oils, protein, and vitamins. 

Wild birds, sugar gliders, fish, and chickens will enjoy them.  These are perfect when you can't store live mealworms or when conditions are too hot/cold for shipping them.

Q & A

Q:  What's the best way to store them?

A:  It is very important that dried mealworms are stored properly to ensure long-term freshness. Storing them in a warm or humid cupboard will shorten shelf life.

Our first recommendation is to freeze or refrigerate: Place the dried mealworms in a clean, tight-sealing freezer bag. Maximum cold storage is recommended because heat and moisture are the greatest enemies. The mealworms should keep well for up to a year.

If you must store them in a cabinet, make sure it is both dark and cool. Place the mealworms into either a plastic or glass container with a tight-fitting lid. They will last up to 6 months without degrading.

Q.  Can I rehydrate them?

To rehydrate them, we've found the best method is a long soak in cold water for 4 to 8 hours (or overnight). You can also use hot or boiling water for a much faster 30-minute soak, but it tends to break them up a bit more. 

Put the mealworms in a container, add water, and stir them well to separate them. You'll know they are done when they have swollen, softened, and turned pale. 

If you're feeding wild birds, using nectar to rehydrate them increases the flavor and attracts more birds.
