Saang/ Spider Shells(Scorpion Conch)

Yesterday's Lunch!
•Saang are conch shells commonly sold from street stalls in the area of Cebu. These gastropods are known as “spider shells” or “scorpion conch” in English and their scientific name is Lambis scorpius.

•Saang is cooked by grilling or boiling in water. You can often easily pick the meat out, though a few people may opt to use a pin or even a hammer. Vendors skewer the larger chunks of meat onto sticks.
•You may dip cooked saang into vinegar with chopped onions, garlic and chili peppers.
•Its perfect for summer food trip, if you want to go in visayas region,especially in cebu.😊

–Shellfish have been eaten all over the world for centuries.

They’re rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and minerals. Regularly eating shellfish may boost your immunity, aid weight loss, and promote brain and heart health.

However, shellfish are one of the most common food allergens, and some types may contain contaminants and heavy metals.

–Shellfish are low in calories and rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They also contain high amounts of certain micronutrients, including iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B12.

*Potential Health Benefits
Due to their impressive nutrient content, shellfish may be good for your waistline, brain, heart, and immune system.

*May Aid Weight Loss
Shellfish are low in calories and high in lean protein and healthy fats — making them excellent foods to eat while trying to lose weight.

Protein-rich foods keep you feeling full and satisfied, which may prevent you from eating excess calories, helping you lose or maintain weight (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).

What’s more, due to their omega-3 fatty acid content, fish may lead to greater feelings of fullness and aid weight loss more than other high-protein foods (8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source).

*One study in overweight adults found that those who ate more omega-3 fatty acids on a calorie-restricted diet felt significantly fuller after meals than those who ate less omega-3 on the same diet (9Trusted Source).

*May Promote Heart Health
Shellfish are loaded with nutrients that may promote heart health, including omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12.

Several studies have linked eating omega-3 fatty acids from fish and shellfish to a lower risk of heart disease. This is likely because omega-3s have anti-inflammatory effects (10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source).

One study in 18,244 healthy men in China found that those who ate more than 7 ounces (200 grams) of omega-3-rich shellfish per week were 59% less likely to die from a heart attack than those who ate less than 1.74 ounces (50 grams) per week (13Trusted Source).

Furthermore, inadequate intake of vitamin B12 has been linked to high blood levels of homocysteine, a protein that can increase your risk of heart disease. Therefore, eating foods rich in vitamin B12 may protect against heart disease.

In our lunch we boil the saang seasoned with the lemon grass, tomatoes,garlic,onions, chilli long green, spring onions,garlic and salt to taste.

*Have A Wonderful Monday To All Of Us!🤗😍
