I believe that mealworms are a good source of protein which is important for a growing hamster. Dwarfs especially love them and they are an ideal treat and reward when taming as well. If you want to bribe a dwarf get a mealworm.
Simply get someone else to offer Freya a dried mealworm at first but i wouldn't "deprive" her of a mealworm just because you don't like the look of them. The more you expose yourself to a mealworm the more you come to accept them as a hamster delicacy.
