Disgust or pleasure? The controversial mealwurmburger Wormwich in the test!

München, Deutschland - The gastronomy sensation of the month: the "Wormwich"-a unique burger with a patty of mealworms! The innovative creation of "Le Burger" ensures excited reactions on social media, as NÖN's reporting shows. While some dismiss the new protein source as "disgusting" and "to throw up", there are also voices that recognize the advantage of the "super good proteins". The handmade burger is available exclusively in February in the Le Burger Manufaktur in Munich and costs 9.50 euros.

The Austrian company Le Burger spared no effort for his masterpiece. The use of "Tenebrrio Molitor", the common flour worm, instead of traditional beef is not only a culinary, but also a sustainable decision. Supported by the scientific expertise of Cornelia Felbinger from the Vienna Neustadt University of Applied Sciences, the high nutrient density of mealworms is highlighted. Compared to conventional meat production that causes immense CO2 emissions, mealworms show an environmental impact of up to 90%. Framed by high-quality Brioche-Bun, crispy vegetables and a refined sauce, the "Wormwich" promises a special taste experience, as it is explained on the Robin Consult website.

"With the 'Wormwich' we set new standards in gastronomy," says Daniel Chuchlik, COO from Le Burger. The company thus positions itself as a pioneer for sustainable nutrition and opens the discussion about alternative protein sources. The founders, Dr. Thomas Tauber and his son Lukas prefer to use local ingredients and have set themselves the goal of closely combining enjoyment and environmental awareness. Le Burger not only offers the exciting new Hamburger variants, but also gluten-free options and a variety of salads to meet the various requirements of the guests.

Already now there is a lot of anticipation for the "Wormwich", while the burger lovers are waiting for the latest creation. According to the motto: "Who does not dare to win!"
