About Water prawns

Water prawns are a versatile and nutrient-rich seafood enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Southeast Asian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean dishes. They are a great source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall body function, and are naturally low in calories and fat. Packed with key vitamins and minerals like B12, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine, water prawns support energy production, immune health, and proper thyroid function. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. However, prawns are naturally high in cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for those managing cholesterol levels. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes them an excellent addition to stir-fries, curries, pastas, and salads, offering both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility. Opting for sustainably sourced water prawns ensures minimal environmental impact while enjoying this healthy, delectable seafood choice.
