Advantages and disadvantages

Composition, beneficial properties and harm of the product

Despite the name, there is no crab meat in the red and white sticks. The dish consists of marine fish fillets. If the product is of high quality, the meat in the sticks will be lean and only white. To make them, cod fillets are taken. The sea fish stock is thoroughly washed and the minced meat is chopped. The resulting product is odorless and has no pronounced taste.

The minced meat is cooked and then frozen. Ground minced meat based on sea fish is called surimi. When choosing a product, you need to carefully study the composition; the first item in it should be surimi.

When on a diet, crab sticks not only do not harm the body, but are also beneficial. Positive properties of the product:

1. They contain a large amount of protein and mineral elements that enrich the body. Protein takes part in the formation of muscle fibers, so it will be especially useful for those people who, in order to lose weight, not only follow a diet, but also regularly exercise.
2. Vitamins A, B and E – maintain health, strengthen the immune system, have a positive effect on the condition and appearance of hair, nails and skin.
3. Polyunsaturated acids have a strengthening effect on blood vessels: they make the walls stronger and increase their resistance to harmful factors.
4. Microelements - lower and normalize cholesterol levels in the blood, clearing blood vessels of cholesterol plaques and preventing their re-formation.

A crab diet, which is based on tasty sticks, can bring not only benefits, but also harm if the product is of poor quality.
