We all know that one of the nutritional values of prawns is very high. Generally, when we supplement children's nutrition, we will give them some prawns, which can also promote children's intellectual and physical development, which is also very beneficial to our health. In fact, both sea shrimps and river shrimps contain high protein, vitamins and trace elements, which is very suitable for us to eat.

However, sea shrimp and river shrimp are two different species after all, so there are some differences in nutrition. Their most significant difference is that

the iodine content of prawns grown in the sea will be higher, while the calcium content of river shrimps will be higher

, which is also related to the different environments in which they grow.

2. Different appearances

Because the environment in which sea shrimp and river shrimp grow and the food they eat are different, there are some differences in appearance. Maybe everyone will think that sea shrimp and river shrimp look similar. Although they are both shrimps, there are still some differences between the two kinds of shrimps.

First of all, we can see that

the shell of river shrimp is relatively thin

and relatively soft to the touch, but

the shell of sea shrimp is harder than that of river shrimp

, and we can see the difference when we touch it with our hands.

Then, in terms of size, as long as we carefully observe, the sea shrimp looks a little bigger than the river shrimp, and the meat of the river shrimp is white and elastic after cooking, while the shrimp meat of the sea shrimp will taste a little harder than the river shrimp after cooking.

3. Different living environments

We all know that the growing environments of sea shrimps and river shrimps are different. Sea shrimps live in the sea, and the sea water contains iodine and salt, so

the iodine content of sea shrimps is relatively higher, and the sea water is more mobile, so the sea shrimps living in the sea water may be less polluted at ordinary times.

Our common river shrimps are mainly freshwater shrimps, all of which live in streams and rivers. Because they live in rivers, all these river shrimps will not grow to the size of sea shrimps, but they will be smaller. However, we need to pay attention when buying, because

the river water will be less mobile, so the possibility of pollution will be greater.

4. Different tastes

We will feel different tastes when we eat sea shrimp and river shrimp. If we eat them directly after cooking, the meat quality of sea shrimp will be more compact, while the taste of river shrimp is not as tight as that of sea shrimp, and there are also differences.

friends who like to eat shrimp, we need to know the differences between sea shrimp and river shrimp when buying, and then choose to buy according to our own preferences, and we should also pay attention to choosing good quality when choosing.
