The yellow stripes in the crab are usually called "crab yellow" or "paste", which are the ovaries in the crab viscera. In the female crab, the ovary constantly produces and stores eggs, and a large number of eggs can be produced after mating. These unfertilized eggs will form a yellow gelatinous substance, namely crab roe or crab paste.

Crab yellow is bright in color, rich in fragrance, rich in nutritional value, and rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, crab roe is very popular in food, especially for people who like seafood, and tasting crab paste is an indispensable enjoyment.

It should be noted that crab paste is rich in nutrition, but it is not suitable for excessive consumption. Because crab paste is a high-fat and high-cholesterol food, long-term large intake may lead to obesity, dyslipidemia and other health problems. So while enjoying delicious food, we should also pay attention to moderate consumption.
