Crab meat contains long-chain omega 3 fatty acids and is rich in vitamins and minerals. It's also low in fat and helps provide protection from heart disease and aids brain development. Long chain fatty acids are also more beneficial to our health because they can be used immediately, unlike short chain omega 3 found in vegetables and oils. Crab meat also contains riboflavin - a vitamin that cannot be stored in the body and therefore must be consumed by diet or supplementation.
A rich source of: riboflavin, Omega-3, selenium, copperr, phosphorus.
