How to choose crabs is the best?
First of all, when picking crabs, you must pick live ones. Therefore, when buying crabs, you can poke the crab's back to see if it is full of vitality. Nowadays, people pay attention to eating live meat. Dead meat is not only delicious, but also harmful to human health, especially dead crabs, which can lead to poisoning.
Secondly, we should learn to look at crabs, try to choose big ones, with plenty of meat, green back and white belly, more crab hair, and flexible action response; Furthermore, we should learn to weigh crabs. The heavier the crabs with the same physique, the better their meat quality. The harder the shells are, the healthier the crabs are, and the softer the crabs are, which proves that they are mostly empty shells or watered too much.
Four points for attention when eating crabs healthily:
1, dead crabs must not be eaten.
When the crab is dying or dead, the oxygen acid in the crab will decompose to produce histamine. Histamine is a toxic substance. With the extension of death time, more and more histamine is accumulated in crabs, and the toxic gas is getting bigger and bigger. Even if crabs are steamed, this toxin is not easy to be destroyed. Histamine can cause allergic food poisoning; Histamine can cause vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, never eat dead crabs.
2, raw crabs drunk crabs can not eat
Like drunken shrimps, many restaurants have introduced "drunken crabs", but doctors say that eating crabs raw is extremely undesirable. Crabs grow in rivers, lakes and seas, and they like to eat small creatures, aquatic plants and rotting animals. The body surface, gills and gastrointestinal tract of crabs are covered with bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. If you eat crabs raw, pickled or drunk, you may be infected with a chronic parasitic disease called paragonimiasis.
3. Don't chew crabs indiscriminately.
Because the internal structure of meat crab is relatively complex, many diners put a whole crab into their mouths and chew it fiercely when eating crabs. In fact, this will not only fail to appreciate the delicacy of crabs, but also cause food poisoning if it is not done well.
4. Avoid drinking tea when eating crabs
Some citizens like to drink tea when eating crabs, thinking that it can help digestion, while some people eat crabs after eating them, resulting in abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms. This is because the tannic acid in these two foods will solidify into indigestible lumps after meeting with protein of crab, which is easy to cause "stomach persimmon disease". In addition, some citizens think that drinking brown sugar water after eating crabs can drive away the cold, but experts think that this practice is not worth promoting. Because sugar water belongs to sweets, it is easy to produce stagnation in the body, which is not conducive to digestion.
