Abstract: [Task] A method for producing dry earthworm powder, in which there is no risk of reduction of the enzymatic activity of earthworms and the enzymatic activity of the dry earthworm powder obtained therefrom is increased, is provided. [Means for Resolution] Disclosed is a method for producing dry earthworm powder, in which earthworms which have been subjected to a treatment for removing casting soil are used as a raw material to produce dry earthworm powder, the living organisms of the earthworms or crushed products thereof which have been subjected to a treatment for removing casting soil are subjected to a pressurization treatment under a pressure condition of 10 MPa to 500 MPa and a temperature condition of 0° C. to 70° C., and the earthworms or crushed products thereof after the pressurization treatment are used as a raw material of the dry earthworm powder.
