About Crawfish
Crawfish, also known as crayfish or mudbugs, are freshwater crustaceans often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine, particularly Cajun and Creole dishes. These small shellfish are an excellent source of lean protein, providing essential amino acids while remaining low in calories and fat. Crawfish are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and selenium, which support energy production, immune function, and overall health. While naturally low in saturated fat, they do contain dietary cholesterol, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring their cholesterol levels. Commonly boiled with spices, corn, and potatoes or used in étouffées and gumbos, crawfish are celebrated for their sweet, delicate flavor. However, the sodium content can be high in traditional preparations, depending on seasoning, so mindful preparation is advised to keep this indulgence heart-healthy.
