Octopus is a high-protein and low-fat food. Every 100g octopus contains protein 19g, which is not inferior to ordinary beef, pork and fish, and is six times as high as the protein content of milk. It contains all amino acids necessary for human body, so it is a real high-quality protein. At the same time, the fat content of octopus is extremely low, with only 0.4 g fat in 100 g, while the fat content of lean pork with the same weight is 6.2 g, and the fat content of grass carp, both aquatic products, is 3.2 g per 100 g fish. Therefore, if we want to eat protein and don't want to eat too much fat, octopus is a good choice.

Octopus is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin B, vitamin C and other nutrients.

Octopus is rich in taurine, and the taurine content in octopus is much higher than that in ordinary meat. Can relieve fatigue, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels, and is suitable for hypertension, corridor depression, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, pain, gangrene and swelling. In addition, taurine is a non-protein amino acid with special health care function. Studies have pointed out that taurine can promote the development of infant brain tissue, improve visual function, and has antioxidant and anti-aging effects on adults.
