About Prawns

Prawns are a versatile and flavorful seafood enjoyed worldwide, particularly in Asian, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines. These crustaceans are rich in high-quality protein, making them an excellent choice for muscle repair and growth. Prawns are low in fat and calories, yet they provide essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. They are also a good source of iodine, important for thyroid regulation. However, prawns are naturally high in cholesterol, so individuals monitoring their cholesterol intake may want to consume them in moderation. Often cooked via grilling, steaming, or stir-frying, prawns can be part of a healthy diet when prepared with minimal added fats. Their mild and slightly sweet flavor makes them a popular addition to dishes like curries, pasta, stir-fries, and seafood salads.
