nutritive value
Snails are actually rich in calcium. Every100g of snail contains about156mg of calcium, which is relatively high in many foods. Therefore, children, menopausal women and the elderly in the growth and development stage can supplement calcium by eating some snails properly.
Snails are rich in minerals, including phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, iron, potassium and copper. These mineral elements play a very important role in human body, for example, selenium is related to human life span, and iron is related to anemia. These mineral elements can't be synthesized by human body, so eating some snails properly can help us supplement mineral elements.
The protein content of snails is not too high, with only 7.5g protein per 100g snail. However, there are many kinds of amino acids in snails, such as isoleucine, tyrosine, methionine and leucine. Some of them are not synthesized by human body, so they are called essential amino acids. Therefore, eating snails can supplement the human body with rich amino acids.
