BNAFOODS offers a diverse range of flash-frozen shrimps. How can you differentiate between the different types effectively?
Choosing to consume flash-frozen shrimps might not be familiar to Vietnamese people due to a preference for fresh seafood. However, the live shrimps you are eating could contain antibiotics and have unclear origins, posing risks to health. Therefore, opting for flash-frozen shrimps, especially steamed ones, can save cooking time. This article will provide insights into the various types of flash-frozen shrimps by BNAFOODS, helping you make informed choices!
BNAFOODS' Flash-Frozen Steamed Shrimps
BNAFOODS' flash-frozen shrimps utilize card shrimp, a type low in calories but rich in protein, omega-2 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, promoting good health. The abundant protein in shrimp is a crucial dietary component, and the typical vitamin B12 aids in energy metabolism, weight management, and effective body shaping.
Two essential minerals emphasized in card shrimp are calcium and iron. Calcium supports robust bone health, while iron, recommended by nutrition experts, has significance in preventing cancer cell development. Additionally, omega-3 combats fatigue, depression, and slows cellular aging.
Flash-frozen shrimps maintain nearly the same nutritional content as fresh shrimp.
After a meticulous selection process, card shrimps meeting standards are brought to a modern processing plant, applying advanced technologies to create high-quality products for consumers. Notably, the rapid IQF freezing technology in food preservation helps preserve the fresh and delicious flavor along with the natural nutrients inherent in shrimp.
