In our daily life, protein supplementation is an essential thing to ensure adequate nutrition every day, so as to maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body.
Foods with higher protein content are mainly meat-based, especially shrimp meat, which is not only higher in protein but also very low in fat.
Shrimp can be said to be a very high-quality protein, especially suitable for eating during the fat loss period.
In the past, although the price of live shrimp was relatively high, there were still people who bought it in an endless stream in order to supplement nutrition for themselves and their families.
But now the situation is diametrically opposite, the price of live shrimp has been completely different from the past, and there is even a trend of "big dive", but now there are fewer and fewer people eating shrimp.
This makes us wonder, what the hell is going on?
1. Has the price of live shrimp "plunged"?
All kinds of seafood can be said to have a general advantage, that is, high protein content and low fat content, which is the most suitable food for supplementing protein in our daily life, which naturally includes a variety of shrimp.
And many shrimp can satisfy the taste buds of the audience after simple cooking, not to mention those made with special cooking methods.
However, in the past, due to the price problem, whether it was buying live shrimp to make it at home, or buying shrimp dishes in an outside restaurant, the price was very expensive, and the cost performance was relatively low for many people.
Now the market for live shrimp has changed, and the price has plunged sharply, allowing many people to realize the freedom of live shrimp.
In the past, spending the same amount of money may only be enough to buy half a catty of live shrimp, but now it may be enough to buy a full catty, or even more.
The biggest reason for this is that in the high temperature of summer, the growth of various shrimp is very rapid.
In this season, shrimp can grow to maturity in a shorter time, and the yield can naturally increase significantly.
During this time period, the price of fresh shrimp on the market is also due to the reduction of transportation costs.
Because the shrimp in the various markets depend on the transportation of shrimp from the tropical region to the major markets at other times except in summer, the price of shrimp will be higher.
However, in the summer, the temperature will rise across the country, so the major shrimp farming areas will have a very large output, which reduces the transportation cost of shrimp, so that we can see live shrimp with a "diving" price in the market.
However, the price of live shrimp is still relatively higher than that of some meats.
2. Why are fewer people eating shrimp? These four reasons may be explained
1. The general public seems to be more receptive to wild shrimp
For the general public, there seems to be a consensus on one thing, that is, wild fish and meat will taste better and be more nutritious than farmed ones.
The price of many wild fish and meat is also high, which discourages many people.
However, this does not stop people from buying fish and meat, and they will rush to buy non-farmed fish and meat.
But this is not suitable for all, where shrimp is the complete opposite, but farmed shrimp is a little tastier and the yield will be higher, so that we can all eat live shrimp.
2. Are shrimp grown by taking medicine?
The reason why many people don't buy shrimp much now is because they think that the live shrimp are relatively large now, which seems very unreasonable, and they think that these common live shrimp on the market can only grow so big through drug farming.
However, this is not the case, farmed prawns can grow to such a large size, not by feeding medicine.
In fact, as long as you continue to provide food for the shrimps, they can grow up slowly, especially in today's hot weather, and they will grow very quickly because of the abundance of food.
3. Is the breeding environment not safe enough?
In addition to the concerns expressed by many people when it comes to shrimp feeding, there are also those who believe that the environment in which shrimp are farmed may also make shrimp unhealthy.
The reason for this thinking is that these shrimps grow in the same environment, and if some shrimp get sick, it is likely to contaminate the entire farmed shrimp group, thus affecting the health of the shrimp.
In fact, this concern is very necessary, and this aspect does need the attention of all shrimp farmers.
However, the environment for fish and shrimp farming has been improved, and new technology cages have also been put into use to make the breeding environment healthier.
As for shrimp diseases, there are also various drugs for the treatment of shrimp diseases, but when these drugs are put into these farmed shrimps, it is necessary to pay attention to disinfection, so as not to let these shrimps retain drugs and affect the health of consumers.
4. Not knowing how to pick the right shrimp
In addition to shrimp farming considerations, one of the reasons why many people choose not to eat shrimp now is because they don't know how to choose better quality shrimp.
Although most of the live shrimp in the market are conscientious merchants, the live shrimp sold are also good quality live shrimp, which makes us feel very relieved to eat.
However, there are still some unscrupulous merchants who sell some inferior live shrimp to the price of high-quality shrimp, so that many people are deceived.
3. How to choose shrimp in order to choose high-quality shrimp
As we mentioned earlier, one of the reasons why many people rarely eat shrimp now is that they don't choose shrimp. So here we will provide you with a few points on how to choose shrimp, so as not to be deceived, in this stage of live shrimp price diving, buy the most cost-effective shrimp.
1. Don't buy shrimp that are too straight
When we usually buy shrimp, we often see two kinds of shrimp that are completely different in size, divided into straight and curved.
And if we want to choose these two types of shrimp, the most we should choose is the live shrimp with a curved body, which is fresher.
Because the flesh of live shrimp is firmer, it will be like a hook, which is also the most common appearance we usually see.
The straight shrimp is generally because the time is too long or the shrimp meat is not elastic enough, so it cannot reach a curved state, and can only stand upright.
2. Touch the shell of the shrimp
When we usually choose shrimp, we can touch the shell of the shrimp by the way, so as to judge whether the shrimp is fresh or not.
The shell of fresh shrimp is usually characterized by being relatively dry and does not have a special feeling to the touch.
Some people will wonder when they see this, the live shrimp on the market are not all raised in water for people to choose, how can the shell be dry?
In fact, the dryness mentioned here refers to the fact that the shell of the shrimp does not have a slimy feeling, and only the shrimp that are not fresh can feel the sticky feeling on the shell. So what we call touching the shell of the shrimp is to look at this point to avoid the shrimp we buy is not fresh enough.
3. By looking at the color of the shrimp
If you don't want to touch the shrimp, we can actually judge whether the live shrimp is fresh by looking at the color of the shrimp.
Like fresh shrimp, the color is more crystal clear, as if it is a delicate handicraft, and the overall color is relatively uniform.
If we can see some other colors on the shrimp, such as black, then such shrimp cannot be bought.
4. You can't buy shrimp whose legs are easy to fall
Although the shrimp legs look very small, we usually throw them away in the process of eating, but in the process of buying live shrimp, these easily overlooked shrimp legs have become a favorable "helper" for us to select live shrimp.
Fresh live shrimp, its shrimp legs and the whole body are bound more tightly, not easy to fall off, and you can clearly see the live shrimp shaking their shrimp legs.
And those shrimp legs fall off as soon as they are touched, and even the shrimp legs don't move much, which looks like shrimp that have been around for a long time, and they are not very fresh, so in order to be healthy for us to eat, try not to buy these shrimp.
Fourth, it is healthier to eat shrimp in this way
We usually choose to eat shrimp, not only to pursue its unique taste, but also to be able to replenish the body's nutrition. Therefore, it is necessary to make this process of eating shrimp a healthy process.
The first step is to pick fresh shrimp.
At this point, we mentioned earlier what methods should be used to select fresh shrimp, so that after we eat it, it will not bring harm to our health.
At the same time, there is another point that many of us need to pay attention to, and that is not to choose to put too much faith in those wild-caught shrimp.
Because there is no way to guarantee the growing environment of these so-called wild shrimp, and the quality of these shrimp cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, we usually go to the supermarket with the most food safety guarantee, and when buying live shrimp, we can buy and select live shrimp with confidence.
After all, some of the methods we mentioned earlier for picking shrimp may cause disgust among stall owners.
In addition, although eating shrimp is healthy, it is also necessary to control the amount of food.
Many people think that the protein content in shrimp is very high, so they usually only eat a lot of shrimp to allow themselves to supplement protein more fully.
And for the sake of our health, we can't have such thoughts, because according to the recommendations, we can't eat too much shrimp every day, and it is best to control the daily consumption to less than 100 grams, which is the healthiest way for us to eat shrimp.
The reason why we recommend this is that we hope that we can have a reasonable diet, eat a variety of foods at each meal, meet the body's needs for other nutrients, and at the same time enrich our personal tastes, so that we can eat happily and healthily at every meal.
summary
The current price of live shrimp, because of the large number of various shrimp products on the market, and there has been a big dive, so that many people who love shrimp have a chance to eat shrimp to be satisfied.
However, if we want to ensure our health, we still need to carefully choose the freshest shrimp, and at the same time, when eating, we also try to choose the simplest cooking method, which will reduce a lot of burden on our body.
