The truth about shrimps is that many people think they know that they turned out to be wrong

Shrimp is a nutritious and popular dish. But there is a mistaken belief that many people suffer making shrimp eating a torture.

According to nutrition experts from the American Heart Institute (AHA), high protein content in shrimp meat is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, fatty acid and many other minerals.

Shrimp is a nutritious food.

Therefore, although shrimp has never been a "cheap" item, there is always a price comparable to beef, but still an indispensable item in the daily diet, especially for older children.

However, there is a fact that many of us do not like this dish very much. The reason is because the shell is hard and "tough" but when the old people used to make us eat. Reason? Because hard shrimp should contain lots of calcium , it is nutritious for us.

But is it really like that?

Fact: Shrimp shells do not contain calcium, or are extremely low

Contrary to popular belief, shrimp shells are hard but almost do not contain calcium. The reason for hard shrimp shells is that the main ingredient is chitin (chitin) - a form of polymer that constitutes the shell for most crustaceans.

Shrimp shells do not contain calcium.

Meanwhile, the shrimp source of calcium comes mainly from shrimp meat, shrimp legs and shrimp (dark with big shrimp species like lobster).

In addition, the shells of some shrimp species are relatively difficult to digest, often excreted after we "settle" in WC.

Although some studies show that shellfish eating lowers harmful cholesterol in the blood, there is actually quite little convincing evidence. Therefore, it is not necessary to force children to eat shellfish , easy to cause aversion, anorexia, bringing the risk of shrimp shells again.
