Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

All over the world, seafood has become a relished meal. Serving as a source of high-quality protein, people look forward to consuming a soup bowl full of seafood at their convenience.

Seafood is very nutritional and is very quick and easy to prepare. It can be used as appetizers and snacks, as ingredients in salads, soups, and main dishes. Some are eaten raw (oysters), but you can also have them baked, simmered, boiled, fried, or stuffed. They are the perfect choice for a meal this summer.

Dishes made with seafood are a very valuable source of protein which makes for easy digestion. They are also good sources of vitamin B(niacin and B12), iodine, selenium, and fluoride. In addition, they contain moderate amounts of iron, zinc, and magnesium. The amount of iron contained in them is about 30-50% of the amount in red meat. Seafood provides us with the richest sources of Zinc.
