shrimp is a very common seafood in life. Because of its delicious taste, it is a favorite of many people. From a nutritional point of view, it is still remarkable, rich in high-quality protein, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and other minerals, and low in fat and energy.
But in the process of eating shrimp, many people often encounter some troubles. For example, if the shrimp thread is not removed, is it the excrement of shrimp? Another example is the shrimp head and shrimp shell. Can they be eaten? Is it too wasteful to throw away?
Then, the nutritionist in the explosive nutrition class will talk to everyone about "eating shrimp":
first talk about the shrimp thread, as everyone thinks, the black and blue shrimp thread is indeed left in the intestines. Excrement. So in theory, it is not very clean, so I suggest you not to eat it.
But in daily life, there are indeed many people who are too lazy to remove the shrimp thread, and this is actually no problem. Because the shrimp eaten in the mouth is basically cooked at a high temperature, even if there is something dirty, it will be killed.
Of course, most people still think the shrimp thread is very disgusting. If you see it and you can't make your mouth at all, then it is understandable to remove the shrimp thread.
Then let’s talk about shrimp heads. This part may be the most controversial. Some people think that shrimp head is a place rich in heavy metals and must not be eaten. But there are also many people who treat shrimp head as a delicacy. For example, in Chengdu, shrimp head is a local delicacy. In some big hotels, there are many delicacies made with shrimp head.
In fact, the nutritionist of the explosive nutrition class told everyone that whether shrimp heads can be eaten depends on the situation. If you fished the shrimp outside by yourself, or bought it from a small vendor, it is recommended not to eat shrimp head. As mentioned earlier, heavy metals are mainly concentrated in the head, eating this kind of shrimp is likely to cause harm to the body.
But if it is a regular farmed shrimp, or if you buy it from a reliable channel, the shrimp's living environment is relatively clean and there are no harmful substances such as heavy metals at all, so the shrimp heads can naturally be eaten with confidence.
As for shrimp shells, it is rich in nutrients such as calcium, protein and astaxanthin, and it is also an edible part. The shells of small krills and some soft shrimps can be eaten directly.
is the harder shrimp shell, so it is best not to eat it directly, especially for people with poor stomach. After all, this kind of shrimp shell tastes bad and it is difficult to digest. If you really don't want to waste it, you can try to fry it or smash it to cook the porridge. The taste is also very delicious.
