About Large prawn

Large prawns are a popular seafood delicacy enjoyed worldwide, often featured in cuisines ranging from Mediterranean to Southeast Asian. These crustaceans are prized for their sweet, firm flesh and adaptability in dishes such as stir-fries, curries, and grilled platters. Nutritionally, large prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, offering essential amino acids while being relatively low in calories and fat. They are rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium, which support overall health, including thyroid function and immunity. Additionally, prawns contain omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to heart and brain health. However, one caveat is their cholesterol content, which may require moderation for individuals managing cholesterol levels. When prepared with minimal oil and seasoning, large prawns make for a nutritious, flavorful addition to a balanced diet. Opting for sustainably sourced prawns also promotes environmentally responsible consumption.
