About Crab boiled

Crab boiled is a classic seafood dish often associated with Southern and coastal cuisines, particularly Cajun and Creole traditions in the United States. Typically made by boiling whole crabs in a flavorful broth infused with spices like cayenne, paprika, garlic, and herbs, it is often served with sides like corn, potatoes, and sausage. Rich in high-quality protein and low in saturated fat, crab is a nutritious choice, offering essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support heart health and immune function. However, the sodium content can be high due to seasoning blends, so moderation is key, especially for those monitoring sodium intake. Crab boiled is also sometimes paired with calorie-dense components like butter or high-fat sauces, which can add to its richness. Overall, it’s a delicious and nutrient-dense dish when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
