Tag: Whale meat

According to nutritional data, raw beluga whale meat contains an impressive 26.5 to 27 grams of protein per 100g serving. This high-protein yield, along with other nutrients, has historically made whale meat a significant food source for indigenous populations, particularly in Arctic regions.

According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, some species of edible crickets contain a staggering protein content of over 70% by dry weight. But is this edible insect truly the king of protein, or do other animals, like whale meat or lean poultry, offer a higher concentration in a more common serving? The answer to which animal is the highest in protein depends on how you measure it: by dry weight, per calorie, or per standard serving.
