What are the white worms on the shrimp? How to choose

Many people like to eat shrimps, which are rich in protein, and the shrimp meat is tender and tastes very delicious. However, some people worry about parasites in shrimp when eating them. Green shrimps are also called river shrimps. Some people found white worms inside green shrimps when eating them. What are the white worms inside green shrimps? How should you choose shrimps when buying them?

1. Parasites

This may be a parasite. Parasites generally have an infection rate, which means that not all of them will be infected, and it is difficult to say for sure that one will contain a worm when you pick one up.

2. Purchase Notes

When we buy shrimps, we must know how to identify their freshness. The key to eating seafood is "freshness". The fresher the shrimps are, the more delicious they will taste. Otherwise, they will lose their freshness and the meat will become "moldy". For fresh shrimps, the shell and muscle are very tightly adhered, and it takes some effort to peel the shrimp meat with our hands. The intestinal tissue and the shrimp meat of fresh shrimps are also very tightly adhered. However, for refrigerated shrimps, the intestinal tissue and the meat are not so tightly adhered. If we find that the shrimp intestines and the shrimp meat are loose, it means that the shrimps are not fresh.

3. Shrimp with black gills are usually sick

Some experts pointed out that this was because some of these cheap shrimps were found to contain fish medicine residues, such as chloramphenicol. Therefore, they can only be sold at a reduced price, and due to the lack of management and inspection methods in the aquatic market, such cheap shrimps can be sold in large quantities in the market. Those who are greedy for bargains have actually become victims. As the marine environment becomes increasingly polluted, there are more and more harmful substances in many seafoods. Some people have even been poisoned by eating contaminated seafood. Therefore, we must eat seafood in moderation and not consume it in large quantities.
