About Camarones
Camarones, known as shrimp in English, are small, flavorful crustaceans widely enjoyed in global cuisines, particularly Latin American, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Packed with high-quality protein, they are low in calories and contain essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus. Camarones are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Additionally, they provide antioxidants like astaxanthin, promoting skin and eye health. While their cholesterol content may seem high, studies suggest they can support balanced cholesterol levels when eaten as part of a healthy diet. However, certain preparations, such as frying or pairing with heavy sauces, may add unhealthy fats and calories, reducing their nutritional benefits. Opting for grilled, steamed, or sautéed camarones with fresh herbs and vegetables maximizes their healthiness while preserving their delicate flavor. Versatile and nutrient-dense, camarones are a satisfying addition to a balanced diet.
