Anyone fancies majuru for dinner?
Majuru (termites) are rich in iron, zinc and proteins and are a good source of nutrients.
Nutritional studies have shown that they have a higher percentage of protein by weight than beef, pork, chicken or lamb (see table). In addition, the digestibility range of insect protein is between 76% and 98%, while that of beef is estimated at 98%.
Termites are also valued for their antiviral properties and are reported to be effective as a treatment for colds, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, influenza and sinusitis. Indeed, they are seen by some as a potential source of new medicines.
