Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) efficiently convert organic waste into nutrient-rich biomass, but their nutritional value depends strongly on substrate composition. This study evaluated whether supplementing fruit- and vegetable-based substrates with Spirulina (5% DM), flaxseed meal (7% DM), or their combination could enhance BSFL growth performance and biochemical quality. Four diets were tested: an unsupplemented control (T0), Spirulina (T1), flaxseed (T2), and Spirulina + flaxseed (T3). Larval performance improved progressively with enrichment. Final dry mass increased from 268 ± 2.9 g (T0) to 311 ± 3.4 g (T3), while waste-reduction rate rose from 60.6 to 66.6% and bioconversion efficiency from 18.1 to 20.7% (
