Parasites, heavy metals… hairy crabs, how should they be eaten safely?

Autumn is the harvest season, with a bumper harvest of all kinds of grain and fruits, and the weather is beginning to cool down gradually. This season is also the season to eat goods.

Of course, hairy crabs cannot be missed, but many friends always have worries and worries before eating.

Today, Dr. Clove will explain to you some questions about hairy crabs.

Question 1: Crab roe and crab cream are high in fat and cholesterol and cannot be eaten?

There is indeed a lot of cholesterol in crab roe. The cholesterol content in every 100g crab roe may reach more than 400 milligrams, and the crab cream is similar. Because of this, crab roe and crab cream have unique flavor and taste.

What needs to be reminded is that the fatty acids contained in crab roe and crab cream are relatively reasonable in proportion from a nutritional point of view. The content of EPA and DHA, which are essential fatty acids beneficial to health, is also quite rich.

Moreover, the latest < < Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016) > > all point out that dietary cholesterol will not significantly affect cholesterol metabolism in the human body, the daily limit of cholesterol has been abolished, and it is advocated that [eating eggs does not abandon yellow].

So by the same token, even patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol or obese friends:

As long as the amount of crab eaten is controlled to be appropriate and the total amount of fat is appropriate, it is also possible to [eat crab without abandoning yellow or cream].

Question 2: High uric acid, gout, can’t you eat?

People suffering from gout or elevated uric acid often hear doctors say that you cannot eat seafood in the future. This is a bolt from the blue for food, and there is no love for life!

And I want to tell you: can eat!

Seafood does affect purine metabolism in the body, but purine content varies from seafood to seafood.

Crab is not a high purine food, it belongs to seafood with medium purine (25 ~ 150 mg purine per 100g), and the purine content per 100g crab is 82 mg.

In other words, you can eat 2-3 times a week, less than 100g each time. It is also suggested to eat boiled crabs instead of steamed crabs.

Question 3: If you eat crabs, you have diarrhea. Can’t you eat them?

However, compared with crab roe and crab cream, crab meat is rich in protein and fat content is less than 1%, so there is basically no need to worry too much.

However, many people say that if they eat crab meat and drink a little wine, they will have diarrhea.

1. It may be that the heating is not complete.

This may not blame hairy crabs, but their cooking methods. Aquatic products such as hairy crabs are more likely to carry various pathogenic bacteria. If the heating is not thorough, the bacteria cannot be completely killed, which is likely to cause acute gastroenteritis and diarrhea.

As long as it is not very serious vomiting and diarrhea, it will be relieved if you eat a few easy-to-digest things such as clear porridge and side dishes to rest your intestines and stomach.

2. Maybe you have [irritable bowel syndrome]

Moreover, many people now have [irritable bowel syndrome], and their intestines are more delicate and easy to have diarrhea when slightly stimulated.

The content of protein, fat and cholesterol in crabs is relatively high, which may be different from the nutrition ratio in our daily diet. In addition, when eating crabs, they are usually accompanied by a sumptuous meal and like to drink some small wine, which is not a small stimulus to gastrointestinal tract.

Therefore, this kind of situation should be restrained and eat less.

Question 4: Pregnant, can’t you eat?

Some people say that if you eat hairy crabs during pregnancy, your child will always spit bubbles in his mouth and like to walk sideways.?

If this is the case, then your child who eats pork during pregnancy is born like a pig, your child who eats mushrooms looks like a mushroom, and your child who eats durian looks like a durian?

Please those rumor makers and disseminators, in the future [eat more pig brains to supplement your brains], don’t always use your heels to think about these exotic conclusions.

You can also eat crabs during pregnancy. The key points are as follows:

  1. If it is mentioned earlier, it is easy to eat crabs with stomachache and diarrhea when you are not pregnant, then it is recommended not to eat them.

  2. Be sure to heat it thoroughly before eating.

  3. Don’t eat too much.

Question 5: Heavy metals exceed the standard and cannot be eaten?

There are reports that hairy crabs exceed the standard of heavy metals and foreigners do not eat them.

Indeed, hairy crabs like to live at the bottom of the water or in some caves. They mainly eat various aquatic plants, insect larvae, snails, shellfish, small fish and carrion near the bottom of the water and caves. Such living habits may make them rich in some heavy metals.

Whether hairy crabs are polluted and heavy metals exceed the standard depends first on whether the water quality and soil in which they live are polluted.

On the whole, the living environment of hairy crabs in our country is still relatively reassuring and there is no serious heavy metal pollution problem.

Take the most famous Yangcheng Lake as an example (not to mention how many hairy crabs on the market are really produced in Yangcheng Lake):

In 2009, Suzhou University tested the water quality of Yangcheng Lake and Taihu Lake near Suzhou for heavy metal lead pollution. The results showed that the water quality and soil of the two lakes were quite good, belonging to clean level and not polluted by heavy metals.

However, if the waters where hairy crabs live are polluted by heavy metals, for example, some nearby chemical plants discharge a large amount of various pollutants every day, the hairy crabs in these waters may be at risk of exceeding the standard of heavy metals.

It is suggested that everyone should not fish for food by themselves, but buy it from regular channels.
