Nutritional value of shrimp paste

1. Shrimp paste is rich in protein, calcium, iron, selenium, vitamin A and other essential nutrients for the human body.

2. Shrimp paste contains a nutrient unique to shrimp, called "astaxanthin". Astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant currently available and is known as "super vitamin E". The redder the shrimp paste is, the more astaxanthin it contains.

3. The calcium contained in shrimp paste is decomposed into calcium that is easily absorbed by the human body. Fats are then converted into fatty acids. At the same time, shrimp paste is also a rich source of high-quality protein, calcium and fatty acids.
