Cajun Grocer Educates Consumers on Nutritional Benefits of Crawfish
With seafood emerging as one of the top health foods in today's society, it's no wonder the demand has increased exponentially in the last decade. According to industry statistics, 7 million tons of seafood are consumed annually in the US. However, salmon and tuna are not the only foods Americans are reaching for these days. Crawfish production is rapidly growing, from what was previously considered a novelty to a mainstream dish. Cajun Grocer spokesperson Charlie Hohorst agrees, saying "Live crawfish with seasoning is a delicacy, but best of all it's nutritious. It's low in calories and high in protein, what a great combination. It's not our fault some people like to dredge them in melted butter. The crawfish themselves are a nutritional delicacy, rich in Omega 3."
