1. Is 2 liang of female crab too small?

A female crab weighing 2 liang is a bit small. A normal female crab weighs about 2.5-3 liang.

Male crabs are slightly larger than female crabs, so they will weigh about 1 tael. The weight of the crab is usually on the shell, so when buying, pay attention to choosing crabs with thick meat, not just the size of the crab.

How to distinguish the sex of crabs:

The male and female crabs can be identified mainly by observing the crab's belly button and the fluff on its legs. These are two relatively intuitive ways of identification.

The belly button of a male crab is relatively pointed, a bit like a triangle, and its eight legs are covered with dense fluff.

The belly button of the female crab is relatively round, the abdomen is oval in shape, and only the first two legs have fewer and finer hairs.

4. How to eat 2.2 catties hairy crabs

When you buy a hairy crab, don't wash it first, put it in a container with a lid, pour half a bowl of strong Erguotou liquor on it, and immediately cover the pot. I simmered it for 50 minutes and it got drunk. No matter how much you wash it, it will ignore you!

During this time, prepare the dipping sauce first: chop the ginger, add vinegar, steamed fish soy sauce and sugar and mix well.

After the hairy crabs are drunk, wash them and set aside. Put water in the pot, not more than half of the crabs, add onions, ginger, star anise, and peppercorns. Add 20 ml of rice wine and 5-8 grams of salt per pound of crabs. After putting the hairy crabs in, bring to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, and you can eat it.

6. Is eating 2 taels of crabs really equivalent to eating 5 taels of fat meat?

It is said that the cholesterol in eating 2 taels of river crabs is the same as that in 5 taels of fatty meat.

Expert interpretation: The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that the cholesterol intake of ordinary adults should not exceed 300 mg per day, and those with high blood lipids should control it below 200 mg. However, according to my country's food composition table, the average cholesterol content in every 100 grams of river crab is 267 mg, which is indeed equivalent to the amount of cholesterol in 5 taels of fat. But in fact, this calculation is not accurate. Because other foods consumed every day also contain a certain amount of cholesterol, it is best to control the amount of crabs. It is recommended to eat no more than one or two crabs each time, and no more than three times a week. When eating crabs, eat less meat, offal and eggs, and eat more soy products, vegetables and fruits to promote cholesterol metabolism.
