Southern Food
What Is Southern Food Anyway? - Well it depends on who you ask. We'll try to answer the question in this article.
Our Southern Shrimp Our Southern Coastlines, are teeming with fresh and healthful Shrimp. Some 40% of the shrimp eaten in the U.S. is farmed raised from Asia and South America. But our wild caught Shrimp are fresher, healthier and better tasting than the imported, farm raised varieties.
A 3 oz. serving of shrimp contains:
•25 grams of protein
•1 gram of carbohydrates
•1 gram of total fat
•95 to 150 milligrams of cholesterol
•90-100 calories.
They are low in saturated fat and rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 B6, B12 and D.
Shrimp was once shunned for high cholesterol. But rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, they have been proven to help reduce the risk of heart disease and are a good source of selenium and tryptophan which induces DNA repair and blocks the production of cancer cells.
