They are technically not worms and they are not the offspring of flies. Actually Mexican jumping beans contain the larva of a moth and they eventually hatch out as moths.

Forgive my ignorance, but did/do people eat these beans?

I had some as a kid, they were cool. I can’t believe it took science to discover this, I figured some curious seven year old with a rock would have figured it out.
