Squid, also known as calamari and soft fish, has high nutritional value and is a valuable seafood. It has basically the same nutritional functions as soft-bodied brachiopod seafood such as cuttlefish and octopus. They are both foods rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., and very rich in trace elements such as selenium, iodine, manganese, copper, etc. The nutritional value of squid is very high. It is rich in protein, calcium, taurine, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and other nutrients needed by the human body, and the content is extremely high. Additionally, the fat content is extremely low.

According to data from the Ocean Branch of the China Fisheries Association, squid has high protein and low With the advantages of fat and low calories, its nutritional value is no less than that of beef and tuna. Every 100 grams of dried squid contains 66.7 grams of protein, 7.4 grams of fat, and a large amount of carbohydrates and inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur. The protein content of fresh squid is as high as 16 to 20%, and the fat content is extremely low, only about 4% of ordinary meat. Therefore, the calories are far lower than meat. For people who are afraid of obesity, eating squid is a good choice. Good choice. Squid is not only rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and trace elements such as calcium, selenium, iodine, and manganese, it is also rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA (commonly known as brain gold), EPA, and high levels of taurine. . Eating squid can effectively reduce the cholesterol accumulated in the blood vessel walls, and is very effective in preventing hardening of the arteries and the formation of gallstones. At the same time, it can replenish brain power and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, squid is a healthy food for middle-aged and elderly people who are prone to cardiovascular diseases.
Modern medicine has discovered through research that although the cholesterol content in squid is high, squid also contains a substance-taurine, and taurine can inhibit the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood. As long as the ratio of taurine to cholesterol in the food you eat is above 2, blood cholesterol will not increase. The taurine content in squid is relatively high, with a ratio of 2.2. Therefore, when eating squid, cholesterol is only used by the body normally and will not accumulate in the blood. Professor Wang Cunxin from the Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that cholesterol can be divided into low-density and high-density cholesterol. The cholesterol in squid is mainly high-density, which is beneficial and harmless to the human body. The structure of the fat in squid is obviously different from that of livestock and poultry. Most of the cholesterol in squid is concentrated in its internal organs. There is no need to worry about increased cholesterol intake due to eating squid.
