On April 19th, the topic "Crayfish Prices Plummet" surged to the top of Weibo's trending list.
According to reports from multiple domestic media outlets, as the weather gets warmer, crayfish are gradually hitting the market. With increasing supply, the prices of crayfish have dropped to single digits.
A merchant from Sichuan province stated that small crayfish are priced at 6 to 10 yuan per pound, medium crayfish at 15 yuan per pound, and large crayfish at 20 to 30 yuan per pound, all significantly cheaper than last year.
Now is the perfect time for consumers to enjoy crayfish.
Crayfish are known for their high nutritional value, with a superior amino acid composition compared to meat, containing all eight essential amino acids required by the human body. They are also rich in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, C, and D.
Furthermore, crayfish are abundant in sodium, which aids in regulating osmotic pressure, maintaining acid-base balance, normalizing blood pressure, and enhancing nerve and muscle excitability.
When cooking crayfish, it's crucial to ensure they are cooked at high temperatures to fully eliminate parasites. Steaming or boiling for 30-40 minutes is recommended to achieve this.
