Hairy crabs are rich in nutritional value. Every 100g hairy crab contains protein 18.5g, calcium 65mg, iron 125mg and phosphorus 267mg. Hairy crabs are seafood and contain a certain amount of iodine, but compared with kelp, laver and other seafood, the iodine content of hairy crabs is lower, with only 6.5 grams of iodine per 100 grams of hairy crabs.

For patients with hyperthyroidism, excessive iodine intake will stimulate the thyroid gland, leading to further disorder of thyroid function. Therefore, when eating hairy crabs, we must control the intake and avoid excessive consumption.
