It's crawfish season in New Orleans and you know what that means - time to indulge in some of the tastiest, healthiest seafood around! Here are five reasons to love mudbugs.
π¦ Low carb - also protein rich
π¦ Zero saturated fat - so yes, itβs cholesterol-friendly (or at least neutral)
π¦ High in vitamin B12 - essential for healthy nerves and blood cells.
π¦ High in the antioxidant selenium - this mineral helps protect against cell damage
π¦ Low calorie - just 100 cals per 3-ounce serving.
But wait! There's a catch. Typical boiled crawfish are very high in sodium. Crawfish naturally, however, is not. So go easy on the seasoning, whenever possible.
