I eat it raw; I used to put it in my yogurt. I also give it to the dubia/discoids/crickets raw without mashing it up, because it was way too much work to pound it into a powder that frankly I did an awful job with.

As for WHY it's good - that's debatable lol. I've read that it's the most nutritious and complete food/chain of amino acids, and that you could live on it + water if you wanted to. I don't think there's any solid evidence/science behind this (would love to be proven wrong via something concrete, not some guy on the web touting it as miracle food). Frankly I just think it's a great source of energy/sugar.
