With World Edible Insect Day on 23 October, there’s never been a better time to explore the health and environmental benefits of edible insects – and Matomani is leading the way in South Africa.
This proudly local brand is turning Mopani worms into a sustainable, eco-friendly, protein-packed superfood that’s both delicious and highly nutritious. Every Matomani product is organic, high in fibre, rich in Omega-3, packed with protein and amino acids, and loaded with essential minerals and nutrients – offering a cost-effective and planet-friendly alternative to traditional protein sources.
Why Choose Mopani Protein?
Mopani worms are among the world’s most sustainable protein sources, boasting 60% protein content per gram – more than double that of beef (26%). While it takes 10 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of beef, just 3 kg of Mopani leaves are needed to produce the same weight in Mopani worms, making them a far more eco-efficient choice.
