About Crab

Crab is a nutrient-rich seafood commonly featured in coastal cuisines around the world, from Asian stir-fries to American crab cakes. Low in calories and fat, it provides a high-quality source of protein, making it ideal for muscle repair and overall growth. Crab is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium, which support immune health, energy production, and antioxidant defense. Omega-3 fatty acids found in crab promote heart and brain health. While its natural sodium content is notable, it remains a healthy choice when consumed in moderation. However, dishes using crab may include added fats, salt, or batter, which could diminish its nutritional profile. Whether steamed, grilled, or served in soups and salads, crab is a flavorful and versatile option for anyone seeking a health-conscious yet indulgent meal.
