HEALTH INFO
Prawns are high in protein and low in fat, have zero carbohydrates and are a good source of omega-3 and six other fatty acids. These ‘good fats’ help to reduce the risk of heart disease, arthritic symptoms and the risk of some cancers, but our body can’t make them on its own, so we have to consume them in food. Prawns also contain magnesium, selenium, phosphorus and iodine.
