The mother crab has a lot of crab yellow. Male crabs have no crab roe, only crab paste. Crab yolk is an egg cell that crabs have not excreted, so it is only available to female crabs. If you like to eat crab yolk, it is recommended to choose female crabs to eat. Although the male crab does not have crab roe, it contains rich crab paste, which is the accessory gonad of the male crab and is blue-white translucent jelly-like. September of the lunar calendar is the best time to eat female crabs every year.
Difference between male and female hairy crabs
1, body structure
People usually describe male and female hairy crabs, saying that male crabs wear thongs and female crabs wear diapers. This is because the male crab has a fleshy shell that is pointed like a thong, while the female crab is round like a diaper. So the body structure is different.
2. Nutrients
Only male crabs have crab paste, and crab yellow is only available to female crabs. Crab paste is the sperm gland of male hairy crabs. The more crab paste, the richer the nutrients in hairy crabs, and the higher the fat content. Crab yolk is the ovary and crab egg of female crab. Crab yolk contains a lot of phospholipids, fat, protein and vitamins necessary for human body, which is rich in nutritional value.
Identification method of male and female of hairy crabs
1, belly
Hairy crabs can tell the male from the female by looking at their bellies. The lower part of their bellies is triangular, which is a male crab, while the lower part of their bellies is round, which is a female crab.
2. Look at the umbilicus
The umbilical cord of a hairy crab is a small cover near the lower part of the belly. If the cover is pointed, it means that the hairy crab is male; if it is round, it means that the hairy crab is female.
3. Watch your legs
Male and female hairy crabs have no pain in their legs. Female hairy crabs have fine hairs on their front legs, but male crabs have hairs on their eight legs, which is the most convenient way to distinguish male and female hairy crabs.
