CATDOLL : CATDOLL: I just want to ask, is seaweed considered seafood?

Nori is a seafood that contains vitamins and minerals, but it is not seafood.

Seafood: Also known as seafood, it refers to dishes made from marine animals. It includes fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc. Although marine organisms such as kelp and laver are often cooked as food, seafood is mainly based on dishes made from animals. In a narrow sense, only fresh seafood can be called seafood. Seafood is classified into: live seafood and frozen seafood. Seafood that has been dried and dehydrated is called seafood.

The basic definition of seafood is that any edible animal or plant material produced in the sea is called seafood.

Among them, shellfish such as clams and scallops and arthropods such as shrimps and crabs contain relatively high levels of purine. Drinking beer and eating this type of seafood is more likely to cause gout. Qingdao is the place with the highest gout prevalence in the country, which cannot but be said to have an important relationship with their eating habits. Hainan has a unique marine ecological environment, with unpolluted and highly clean seawater. Sanya seafood is famous for its "freshness, deliciousness, variety, and natural health."

Nutritional value of seafood:

Seafood is good for lowering blood lipids, but eating too much may increase cholesterol in the body. Scientists have found that Eskimos are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases, which is related to the fact that their main food comes from deep-sea fish. These fish are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular diseases. Although shrimp, crab, sardines and clams have more cholesterol, they have a lower saturated fatty acid content, and the cholesterol in shrimp and crab seafood is mostly concentrated in the head and yolk. When eating, just remove these two parts and you will not take in too much cholesterol.
