About Small prawn

Small prawns are a versatile seafood widely enjoyed in cuisines across the globe, from Mediterranean dishes to Southeast Asian curries. These crustaceans are rich in high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health, while being low in fat and calories, making them a smart choice for those managing weight. They are also an excellent source of important nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine, which support brain function, thyroid health, and immunity. Additionally, small prawns are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to promote heart health and reduce inflammation. However, it's worth noting that prawns contain cholesterol, which may be a consideration for those monitoring dietary cholesterol intake. Typically steamed, grilled, or lightly sautéed, small prawns can enhance salads, pasta, or rice dishes with their delicate flavor. As always, preparation methods and added ingredients will influence their nutritional profile.
