Can I eat the shrimp yellow of crayfish? What is the shrimp yellow in the head of crayfish

Four seas net: for summer, a delicious crawfish is the most beautiful. But some people say that the Yellow shrimp head is the soul of crayfish! It's the cream! But someone sniffed at it. Can I eat crayfish yellow? There is only one truth!

The fleshy crawfish warms the stomach. Unconsciously, however, the foodies were divided into two factions:

1. Shrimp head Pie: I think the yellow things in the shrimp head taste like crabmeat. It's too wasteful not to eat!

2. Shrimp body Pie: the shrimp head is full of dirt, so don't eat it~

Who is right and who is wrong?

First, let's have a preliminary understanding of the delicious crawfish. They actually have an academic name: Procambarus clarkia, originally living in Northeast Mexico and South Central America, and later introduced to the world. Despite its small size, it is a fast-growing, ferocious and highly adaptable species. Now it has been promoted in more than ten provinces and cities, such as Hubei and Anhui.

The crawfish is small, but it has all five internal organs. The head is full of brain, heart, gonad, digestive gland, stomach and antennal gland and other miscellaneous organs. The prawn yellow worshipped by "prawn head pie" is actually the digestive gland of crayfish, that is, the liver and pancreas of prawn. Well, it sounds a little disgusting.

In fact, prawn yellow is rich in unsaturated fatty acid (DHA, EPA, etc.) protein, microelement selenium, and various vitamins. It still sounds great, doesn't it? Unfortunately, the reality is always cruel. Crayfish has a higher concentration of heavy metals than grass carp and crucian carp. Because of water pollution, heavy metals are concentrated in exoskeleton and liver. At this point, it seems that we have heard the heartbreaking sound of "shrimp head pie".

In this way, the shrimp body faction won the battle among the crawfish eating factions. But as a part of the love of prawn head, prawn yellow love really can not give up, there is a kind of food to meet your taste needs. That's the game! Crab! Crab! This is a dish made of egg and salted egg yolk. Taste tender and smooth, similar to the sweet taste of prawns and crabmeat blooming on the taste buds!

In addition, in this remind the majority of food, in order to enjoy crayfish safely, we must choose the environment with better water quality. Repeat the important thing three times: don't eat wild crayfish! Don't eat wild crayfish! Don't eat wild crayfish!) Shrimp shells should be washed before cooking. In order to kill the parasites in shrimp, it is necessary to fry it completely at a temperature higher than 100 ℃. And shrimp head, try to remove do not eat.
