What is Shrimp? ππ€
Shrimp are popular marine crustaceans known for their sweet flesh, firm texture, and adaptability to various cooking methods. They live in diverse habitats, from saltwater oceans to freshwater rivers and lakes, although most commercially consumed shrimp come from aquaculture or wild catch. Their size varies from small to large, and their color changes when cooked, generally turning bright pink or orange. π¦π§‘
Shrimp are not only delicious but also an excellent source of nutrients. Shrimp are rich in high-quality protein, which is essential for the growth and repair of body tissues. Additionally, shrimp contain various essential vitamins and minerals such as Selenium (a powerful antioxidant), Vitamin B12 (important for nerve function and red blood cell production), Phosphorus (for bone health), and Iodine (for thyroid function). Although shrimp has cholesterol content, studies indicate that its effect on blood cholesterol is insignificant, and its nutritional benefits far outweigh it. πͺπ§ π¦΄
Jarson Artha Utama ensures that the shrimp we distribute are of the best quality: fresh, clean, without a strong fishy odor, firm and non-mushy texture, and perfect cold chain handling from farm/catch to your kitchen. We offer shrimp in various forms (whole, peeled, frozen) and types (Vannamei, Tiger, Jerbung), meeting international quality standards for your premium culinary needs. π―π½οΈ
