As the holiday season approaches, shellfish and crustaceans invite themselves to the table. While tasty and easy
to bite into, seafood has significant nutritional characteristics.
The Shrimp
It is a good source of protein. Shrimps also contain many minerals and are rich in antioxidants. However, it is one of the seafood with the highest level of cholesterol and salt. For people with high cholesterol, shrimps should be consumed in moderation.
The Crab
It is also rich in vitamin A and B6. On the other hand, its flesh is delicate and therefore deteriorates quickly. If you buy them fresh, you must store them at 0°C and consume them within 24 hours of purchase. Pregnant women and people suffering from gout are advised not to eat crab.
Lobster
Its delicate and prized flesh is very lean. It contains zinc, selenium and vitamin B12 and E. Lobsters are also an excellent source of phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. You have all the reasons to put this tasty crustacean on the holiday menu because you won’t even need to throw away its shell since a tasty bisque can also be prepared out of it.
Oyster
This is a real nutritional cocktail. Ultra-rich in iron, vitamin B13, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. To nourish and strengthen yourself, don’t hesitate to consume oysters as often as you wish.
The scallop
It has a lean and satiating flesh. Scallops have calories, protein, and fat. It is rich in minerals and trace elements, especially in calcium.
