About Blue crab
Blue crab, native to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, is a flavorful seafood essential to many coastal cuisines, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern U.S. regions. Rich in high-quality protein and low in fat, blue crab is an excellent source of vital nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart, brain, and immune health. It also offers minerals such as zinc, copper, and phosphorus, essential for bone and metabolic functions. However, it can be high in sodium and, depending on preparation methods, such as frying or heavy butter sauces, it may contain added fats and calories. When enjoyed steamed or lightly seasoned, blue crab delivers a delicious, nutritious option that showcases its natural, sweet flavor while supporting a balanced diet.
