Worms are decomposers and they consume organic matter and convert it into nutrient-rich compost. They like to eat a variety of organic materials, such as:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps
• Coffee grounds and filters
• Tea leaves and bags
• Eggshells
• Crushed egg cartons
• Shredded newspaper or cardboard
• Dry leaves
• Grass clippings
• Hair and fur
• Manure from herbivorous animals

Worms are able to eat a wide variety of food, but the best food for worms are fruits and vegetables scraps, as they are high in moisture and provide a balanced ratio of carbon to nitrogen.
