About Raw prawns

Raw prawns are a versatile and nutrient-rich seafood enjoyed globally, particularly in Asian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean cuisines. These crustaceans are a great source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and overall body function. They contain key nutrients like vitamin B12, which supports nerve health, and selenium, an antioxidant that helps combat cellular damage. Prawns are also rich in iodine, crucial for maintaining healthy thyroid function. They are naturally low in fat and calories, making them an ideal choice for balanced diets. However, they do contain cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals managing heart health. Raw prawns can be prepared in various ways, including steaming, grilling, or sautéing, offering a delicate, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with marinades and spices. When consuming raw or lightly cooked prawns, freshness and proper food safety practices are essential to avoid potential risks.
