Oh how we love crab! Crab meat is nutrient-dense has healthy levels of protein and many vitamins and minerals. Crab is also a good source of vitamin B12, niacin, phosphorus, zinc, copper and selenium.
Crab is also one of the few foods that are high in sodium in their natural state, so you don't need to add much salt for flavoring. If you are on a low sodium diet however, you may want to look into the sodium count of the type of crab you are wanting to eat.
Crab meat cooking wise is very versatile, and you can add this seafood into almost any dish. Favorites include salad, sushi, and crab cakes.
