Macrolobsters are the general names of crustaceans, Decapoda, Chellonidae, true lobsters, lobsters (spiny lobsters), cicada lobsters (cicada lobsters, Spanish lobsters, shovel lobsters) and polychondral lobsters (deep-sea lobsters). They are all marine creatures, living at the bottom of the sea and mostly moving at night. They feed on dead animals, but they also eat live fish, small mollusks and other benthic invertebrates, as well as seaweed. Some species, especially true lobsters and spiny lobsters, have important commercial value. Origin: Central and South America and northeastern Mexico. Distribution status of China: It has spread to Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other places, forming a large number of natural populations. Most lobsters are all red, but there are some other colors.
According to the composition of protein, the protein content of lobster is 18.9%, which is higher than that of most freshwater and seawater fish and shrimp, and its amino acid composition is also better than that of meat. It contains eight essential amino acids which are necessary for human body but can not be synthesized or insufficient in vivo, including not only isoleucine, tryptophan, lysine, phenylalanine, valine and threonine, but also arginine which is rarely found in vertebrates. In addition, lobster also contains arginine essential for young children.
The fat content of lobster is only 0.2%, which is not only far lower than that of livestock and poultry, but also far lower than that of green shrimp and prawn. Moreover, its fat is mostly composed of unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human body, which is easily digested and absorbed by human body and has the function of preventing cholesterol from accumulating in the body.
Lobster, like other aquatic products, contains essential mineral components, among which calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus are more abundant, and iron, sulfur and copper are more important. The total mineral content in lobster is about 65438 0.6%, among which the content of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and iron is higher than that of common livestock and poultry meat and prawns. Therefore, regular consumption of lobster meat can maintain the excitement of nerves and muscles.
From the perspective of vitamin composition, lobster is also one of the important sources of fat-soluble vitamins. Lobster is rich in vitamins A, C and D, which greatly exceeds the content of terrestrial animals.
Shrimp has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, promoting lactation and resisting toxicity, nourishing blood and solidifying essence, removing blood stasis and toxic materials, invigorating qi and strengthening yang, dredging collaterals and relieving pain, stimulating appetite and resolving phlegm.
