In the recent MBC entertainment program "Good Rest", Lee Yeon-bok, five-star hotel general chefs Shin Jong-cheol, Moon Jung-hee, Lee Min-woo, and Yoo Hee-kwan became the talk of the town.
In general, female crabs are known to taste better in spring and male crabs in autumn, but on this day's broadcast, Chef Lee Yeon-bok drew attention by making 'Kkkaeppung Kkae' and 'Seafood Jjamppong Tteokbokki' with flesh-filled crabs.
Blue crabs contain abundant nutrients such as taurine, arginine, calcium, zinc, and astaxanthin.
First of all, taurine helps cardiovascular health, such as lowering blood pressure and controlling cholesterol levels, and is effective in recovering from fatigue. Taurine is known to reduce eye fatigue and have a positive effect on blood sugar control. Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, also helps with eye health and skin aging, and is also good for improving wrinkles and preventing skin photoaging.
In addition, blue crabs are known to be good for weight control. This is because it is a high-protein, low-fat food, and the chitosan component in the crust of crustaceans prevents fat adsorption and plays a role in discharging waste from the body. It is also rich in calcium, which helps bone health such as preventing osteoporosis.
However, gout patients should be careful about excessive intake because the purine content is high at about 150 to 200 mg per 100 g.
