Let's see how much meat a crab has. We specially chose the male crab of 1 and the female crab of 1. After all, they are different.

Male crabs and female crabs have different weights.

I bought 1 steamed female crab and 1 steamed male crab and weighed their gross weights, which were 13 1g and 140g respectively.

Next, we peel off the crab meat. When peeling, cut off these legs first, then open the shell, remove the crab lungs, the hexagonal crab heart in the middle of the crab body, the crab stomach at the bottom of the shell and the hidden crab intestines, and enjoy the rest slowly.

These parts are inedible.

Yes, crab stomach, crab intestines, crab lungs and crab hearts are not edible! This is because the lungs are the respiratory organs of crabs, and the intestines and stomach are the digestive organs. These parts are easy to accumulate scale and are not recommended to eat; Crab heart is easy to cause allergies and diarrhea, so it is not recommended to eat.

Eliminate the inedible parts and see how many edible parts are left.

The usable part of female crabs is about 40%

Let's look at the mother crab first. A female crab has 20 grams of crab roe and 32 grams of crab meat, a total of 52 grams.

The edible part of male crab accounts for about 39%

Let's look at the male crab again. 1 male crab contains 13g crab paste and 42g crab meat, totaling 55g.

In contrast, the crab paste of the male crab is less than that of the female crab, but the crab meat of the male crab is more than that of the female crab, so the added amount is almost the same! It really surprised me. There are quite a few edible parts.

But how much can you eat? This is quite a test of the technique of peeling crabs. How much can you peel?

It is said that the master can not only peel off all the crab meat, but also restore the crab shell into crabs. So skilled that I can only admit defeat.

2. What's the difference in calories between male and female crabs?

Ok, after peeling, let's take a look at the calories of the whole male and female crabs.

The heat of the female crab

1 steamed 13 1g female crab, the calorie of crab meat is 33kcal( 103kcal*0.32), and that of crab roe is104kcal (44.3 * 9+29.79 * 4 399).

The heat of the male crab

1 steamed 140g male crab, the heat of crab meat is 43kcal( 103kcal*0.42), and the heat of crab paste is 46kcal (34.9 * 9+9.64 * 4314+39) * 0.65430.000000000001

The heat difference of crab paste is a little big.

You see, there are still many differences. This is because the calories of crab roe and crab paste are quite different (crab roe calories are 5 18 kcal/100g, crab roe calories are 353 kcal), and the fat of crab roe is higher than that of crab roe and protein (crab roe fat is 34.9g, protein fat is 9.64g, crab roe fat is 44.3g, and protein fat is 29.79g).

And crab meat is really a holy product with low calorie, low fat and high protein!

I think, in fact, whether it is a male crab or a female crab, the calories of the whole crab are really not high, but you can't bear to eat 5-6 crabs at a time, which really tops the calories of a meal!

By the way, do you like to eat male crabs or female crabs?

3. Are crab roe and crab paste high in cholesterol?

When it comes to crab paste, many people are worried about cholesterol.

Because there are too many kinds of hairy crabs, different breeding methods and regions are very different, so I chose Yangcheng Lake and Liaohe hairy crabs, which are more common in the north and south, for comparison.

Comparison between Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab and Liaohe Hairy Crab

As can be seen from the chart, the cholesterol of crab roe and crab paste is higher than that of crab meat, and Yangcheng Lake is higher than that of Liaohe River.

But for the yolk or the whole egg, the cholesterol of crab roe and crab paste is really not high, the protein content of crab roe and crab paste is not low, the amino acids are also complete, there are lecithin and various vitamins, and the nutrition is still very rich.

So, you see, the heat of hairy crabs is not a problem. Don't miss this delicious food because you are worried about this cholesterol!

The key is expensive, you can't eat much at a time.
