FOR INFO ON PRAWNS
Dr Rosemary Stanton PhD APD, is a qualified nutritionist.


Prawns are an excellent source of protein and a great way to get iron, zinc and vitamin E. As a bonus, they have very little fat and virtually no saturated fat and are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids. But prawns do contain cholesterol.




Cholesterol is a waxy type of fat that is present in all animal tissues. Babies get it from their mother's milk. We could not exist without cholesterol because it is a structural component of all body cells and also an important building block for the body to make some hormones, vitamin D and the bile acids needed to digest fats. That's the good news about cholesterol.



Prawns themselves have virtually no saturated fat, so as long as you have them grilled, barbecued, steamed or cooked with a 'good' unsaturated fat like olive oil, they should not cause problems.



The Japanese are the world's greatest consumers of prawns. They also have the highest life expectancy and it is possible the two things could be connected. At the very least, it is fair enough to say that the cholesterol in prawns and other seafood is unlikely to damage the arteries provided the seafood is not battered or crumbed and cooked in saturated fat.




A note about omega 3 fatty acids:
Like all seafood, prawns contain omega 3 fatty acids. These valuable fats lower triglyceride levels and have many other benefits for heart health. Prawns have less fat and therefore contain a lower level of omega 3s than some other seafood (like Atlantic salmon), but the omega 3 content in prawns (average of 120 mg/100g) is well above the minimum 60mg/100g required for an official label of "good source of omega 3 fatty acids".

Prawns are: *A good source of omega 3 fatty acids *An excellent source of protein *A great way to get iron, zinc and vitamin E *Low in saturated fats.
