Shrimp skin is delicious, which is not only a good condiment, but also has special nutritional value. In particular, it contains extremely high calcium, and the calcium content per 1 00g of shrimp skin reaches1g, and some even reaches 2g, which is unmatched by any other food. Calcium is the main raw material of bones, which participates in the process of blood coagulation, maintains the excitability of neuromuscular and regulates the activity of the heart. Therefore, people need calcium all their lives.

Childhood is an important stage of growth and development, and all tissues of the body are growing rapidly, especially the bones grow more rapidly. At this time, calcium is especially needed. These calcium completely comes from food. If the diet is deficient in calcium and the body is deficient in vitamin D at the same time, children will have symptoms of incomplete calcification, such as chicken breasts and X-shaped legs, as well as physical weakness and stunted development, which is medically called rickets. In order to prevent rickets, children should be given more calcium-rich foods such as milk, dairy products, Chinese cabbage, shrimp skin and eggs, among which shrimp skin contains the most calcium and is the most convenient to eat. Therefore, it is best to add some shrimp skin to children's diet frequently.
