What can’t be eaten in crabs

The crab stomach, crab heart, crab gills, and crab intestines are not edible. Eating them will irritate the gastrointestinal tract or cause poisoning.

1. Crab stomach: Crabs are a common food with high nutritional value and delicious taste. Before eating crabs, you need to remove the crab stomach. There will be a lot of food residue or some bacteria in it, which will directly affect the taste of the crab. After eating, it will also irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal pain or digestive abnormalities. It is best not to eat crabs blindly to avoid affecting your health.

2. Crab heart: Crab heart refers to the heart of the crab, which is one of the crab's internal organs. There may be a large amount of toxins residual in the heart area, which will cause harm to the body after eating. Poisoning reactions may also occur, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or weakness in the limbs. If adverse reactions occur after eating crabs, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time to determine the condition. You can take detoxification drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or treat it through intravenous infusion.

3. Crab gills: Crab gills refer to the gills of crabs. The toxin content in the gills is relatively high. If they are not thoroughly cleaned when eating crabs, poisoning reactions may occur and endanger your health.

4. Crab intestines: Currently, many crabs are fed with artificial feed. After eating the feed, there will be residue in the crabs’ intestines, and bacteria will grow, so crab intestines cannot be eaten.
