About Crustaceans, crab, blue, canned
These small, ocean-dwelling creatures are prized for their sweet, delicate meat and are commonly found in canned form for convenience. Packed with high-quality protein—nearly 18 grams per 100 grams—they provide a lean source of essential amino acids without the carbohydrates or fiber found in plant-based proteins. With only 83 calories and less than a gram of fat per serving, they're a light yet nutrient-dense option, making them popular among those looking to maintain or build muscle while keeping calorie intake in check.
Rich in minerals like zinc, copper, and selenium, they support immune function, antioxidant defense, and overall cellular health. They're also a source of vitamin B12, which is important for nerve function and red blood cell formation. Often used in salads, dips, pasta dishes, and seafood soups, their mild flavor pairs well with both creamy and citrus-based preparations. Because they're naturally low in fat and free of carbohydrates, they fit easily into low-carb, ketogenic, and high-protein eating patterns. Just be mindful of sodium content in canned varieties, especially if you're watching your salt intake.
