Nutritional value of brown crab

The king crab is a sea crab with higher nutritional value than the river crabs we usually eat. It is rich in protein and trace elements. Protein is an important nutrient for the body, which can make the body healthier and stronger. Especially for people with weak bodies, it is very suitable to eat more high-protein foods. Trace elements are also very important to our body. The normal operation of body tissues is inseparable from trace elements, and sea crabs such as king crabs can supplement trace elements.

In addition to these nutritional values, the king crab has actually been a food with significant effects since ancient times. It is cold in nature, can clear away heat and detoxify, and has certain therapeutic effects on tuberculosis, making it very suitable for tuberculosis patients. Moreover, the king crab has insecticidal effects and can treat diseases such as athlete's foot. The crab shell can regulate qi and relieve pain.

Taboos on eating brown crab

Do not eat dead crabs

Parasitic bacteria in dead crabs will multiply and spread into the crab meat, causing protein decomposition to produce histamine. The longer the crab has been dead, the more histamine accumulates in its body and the more toxic it is. Even if the dead crabs are cooked thoroughly, the toxins are still not easily destroyed. Eating them can cause nausea, vomiting, flushed cheeks, rapid heartbeat, etc.

Do not eat overnight crabs

King crab is a food that contains a lot of histidine. The histidine in the leftover crabs overnight will be decomposed into histamine under the action of certain vitamins. When heated again, it can kill pathogenic microorganisms but cannot destroy toxins, thus leading to histidine poisoning. Therefore, it is best to steam and eat crabs immediately, generally not more than 4 hours.

Do not eat raw crabs or drunken crabs

The body of the brown crab contains various pathogenic microorganisms. In particular, the Paragonimus larvae eggs in their bodies are highly infectious and have strong resistance, and cannot be killed by simply soaking them in rice wine or white wine. Eating raw crabs or drunken crabs can easily induce paragonimiasis, which can cause coughing and hemoptysis. If the virus enters the brain, it can also cause paralysis.

Don’t eat the four “components”

The body surface, gills and gastrointestinal tract of the king crab are filled with bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, when eating, you must remove the crab gills, crab intestines, crab heart (commonly known as hexagonal plate), and crab stomach (that is, a triangular bone package containing mud and sand).

Do not eat with tea, persimmons, peanuts, cold drinks, etc.

The reason is that tea will dilute the gastric juice. The tannic acid in tea and persimmons is high, which will cause the protein in the crab meat to coagulate and is not conducive to digestion. The coagulated substance can remain in the intestines for a long time. After fermentation and corruption, it can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, as long as you don't eat too much and your stomach is healthy, there will be no problem. Peanut kernels contain up to 40% fat. Eating greasy foods with cold crabs can easily cause diarrhea. Cold water, ice cream and other cold foods can reduce gastrointestinal function. Eating them with crabs can easily cause diarrhea. Similarly, tomatoes should not be eaten with crabs. Both are cold foods, and eating them together can easily cause diarrhea.
