Black Soldier Fly larvae eat any type of organic waste: your food scrap, rotting meat, decomposing fruit and vegetables. Things might be a little bit difficult with the hard type of organic waste such as bones, egg shells, wood, and hard fruit shells (coconut shell, avocado seed), but you could crush it and put it into the compost mixture or use it as a growing bed for the BSF larvae.

It’s amazing that BSF larvae could eliminate organic waste almost completely and reduce the production of greenhouse gas without using non-renewable resources in its process. Black Soldier Fly serves 3 important values: environmental, nutritional, and economical.
