The Possible Health Benefits of Crab Cakes
Let’s explain why crab cakes can be a solid option for you and your family. The crab meat itself is packed with protein. Protein helps you build and maintain your muscle mass. Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium all improve your vitality and help you treat different chronic health conditions. For example, fatty acids help make your heart a bit healthier. After all, they decrease the amount of triglycerides, make blood clotting less of an issue, and reduce the possibility of developing an irregular heartbeat. In addition, vitamin B12 and folate counteract the vitamin deficiencies known as anemia. Lastly, crabs and other kinds of seafood boost your brainpower as well. Reliable research has shown that people who eat seafood at least once time a week exhibit lower risks of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as well.
More Fun Facts About Maryland Blue Crabs
The prime season for softshell crabs runs from mid-May to September. So right now, this means you’re in the sweet spot. Meanwhile, primetime for hardshell crabs is a much larger window. It runs from April to December. The biggest, thickest, and fattest crabs will come around during the fall – that is because they’re planning to hibernate during the winter. Blue crabs are known for eating plants, snails, and even other seafood! So, if dead fish is on the menu, they will not say no. Likewise, they won’t hesitate to engage in cannibalism when they get hungry. Crabbers will use bottom trawls, dredges, and traps to catch your crabs that they sell. Give us a call today for the perfect Father’s Day gift this weekend!
