Crab sticks, also known as imitation crab, are a seafood product made from surimi, a paste typically derived from white fish like pollock. Originating in Japan, they mimic the texture and flavor of real crab meat and are widely used in sushi, salads, and seafood dishes. Crab sticks are low in fat and calories, making them a light option for those monitoring their intake. They are also a source of protein, though not as nutrient-dense as real crab meat. However, they often contain added starches, sugars, and sodium, which may be a concern for individuals on low-carb or low-sodium diets. Additionally, some brands include artificial flavoring or coloring. While not inherently unhealthy, it’s important to check nutritional labels and enjoy crab sticks in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
