Vannamei Shrimp

Category:
Description

Vannamei shrimp is one of the most famous and popular farmed shrimps that various countries offer with the best quality, especially Iran. Before we talk about this type of shrimp, we should know that shrimp are aquatic crustaceans that inhabit most of the world's waters, from saltwater to freshwater. Like other seafood, shrimp is rich in calcium, iodine, and protein, which play an important role in the food chain. Farmed Vannamei shrimp is the main option for people who love seafood because it is delicious and nutritious.

Farmed Iranian Shrimp

In Iran, 4 provinces in the south, including Bushehr, Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan and Khuzestan, and Golestan Province in the north, produce farmed shrimp. Aquaculture farmers use this type of shrimp because Vannamei shrimp has high resistance to diseases and reaches the right weight in a short time. Bushehr, as the most important shrimp production hub in Iran, has entered the third decade of shrimp farming and is the top producer of farmed shrimp in the country with 20,000 tons of shrimp per year.

Export of Farmed Vannamei Shrimp

Shrimp production in Iran is more than 50,000 tons per year and 90% of shrimp are exported. By using mechanization systems such as compression methods, allocating smaller farms (about one to two hectares) and harvesting shrimp twice a year, we are witnessing a doubling of Iranian shrimp production. Shrimp harvesting begins at the beginning of September and continues until November. Iranian farmed shrimp are exported to Southeast Asia, China, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Russia and Europe. Iranian shrimp meets all global health and food safety requirements for fisheries and seafood, including being free of antibiotics, fungicides, drugs and preservatives.

Iran Fish is proud to export high-quality, first-class farmed shrimp to countries around the world, especially the Persian Gulf countries, etc. Our shrimp are frozen using new freezing methods during a standard process and exported to different countries in hygienic packages.

Health Benefits of Farmed Shrimp

Farmed shrimp may be small, but they have a lot of health benefits. Shrimp is a popular, healthy, and delicious option for those who want to eat fewer carbohydrates. If you are looking for a delicious snack or a favorite dinner, shrimp is an ideal choice that is rich in vitamins and nutrients. It is a highly nutritious food that provides the body with iodine, which is not easily found in many foods. The iodine in shrimp is essential for controlling thyroid function and brain health. On the other hand, some people say that because shrimp is high in cholesterol, it is unhealthy.

Calories and Nutritional Value

Shrimp has only 84 calories in a 3-ounce or 85-gram serving. It has no carbohydrates. Shrimp is 90% protein and 10% fat, making it high in protein and low in fat. In addition, there are more than 20 different vitamins and minerals in the same serving size. Selenium is a mineral that can reduce inflammation and promote heart health, and shrimp provides 50% of the body's daily selenium needs. Shrimp is also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as natural antioxidants like astaxanthin, which can improve health in a variety of ways. A summary of the nutrients in a 3-ounce (85-gram) serving of shrimp is as follows:

  • 84 calories
  • 18 grams of protein
  • 48% of the daily value of selenium
  • 21% of the daily value of vitamin B12
  • 15% of the daily value of iron
  • 12% of the daily value of phosphorus
  • 11% of the daily value of niacin
  • 9% of the daily value of zinc
  • 7% of the daily value of magnesium

Health Effects

  1. Improves memory: Since shrimp is rich in omega-3, consuming this superfood every week can help prevent Alzheimer's and dementia in old age. Consuming 380 milligrams of these fatty acids daily can prevent Alzheimer's and dementia (memory loss), and eating shrimp two to three times a week will provide your body with this amount of fatty acids.
  2. Cures Anemia: People who do not eat red meat are more at risk of anemia due to iron deficiency. 100 grams of shrimp provides 19% of the body's daily iron requirement. So if you do not like to eat red meat, you can eat shrimp every day to easily treat anemia and stay healthy.
  3. Weight Loss: If you are on a weight loss diet, avoid fried shrimp as it is high in calories. Instead, enjoy the many health benefits of this protein-rich dish by steaming it and adding spices like fresh lime juice for fewer calories and better flavor.
  4. Heart Health: Shrimp protects your heart and helps you live a long and healthy life as this seafood is rich in vitamin B12. B12 reduces blood homocysteine, which is a major cause of cardiovascular disease.
  5. Cancer Prevention: Selenium is important in rebuilding and repairing damaged DNA and is particularly helpful in reducing the risk of cancer.
  6. Liver Health: Selenium plays a crucial role in activating the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme actively neutralizes toxins in the liver. Eating 120 grams of shrimp per day provides 81.7% of the body’s daily requirement for selenium.

Shrimp also contains the amino acid tryptophan, which is converted to niacin, or vitamin B3, in the body. Niacin plays a variety of roles in metabolism. A deficiency in niacin can cause muscle weakness, loss of appetite, digestive problems, and skin rashes, and a severe deficiency can cause a condition called pellagra. Symptoms include dry, dull, and flaky skin, as well as diarrhea and mental problems.

Tips for Buying Shrimp

Since shrimp spoil easily, be sure to buy them from reputable stores and suppliers like Iran Fish. If you decide to buy fresh, whole farmed shrimp, we recommend removing the head as soon as possible because it is the first part of the shrimp to spoil.

Export of Farmed Vannamei Shrimp

When buying farmed shrimp, pay attention to its various appearance characteristics such as color, head, abdomen, shrimp tail, legs, shell and tentacles, eyes, smell, and meat. To buy quality farmed shrimp, look for natural, bright colors and avoid shrimp that are dark in color. If the head, belly, tail, and skin of the shrimp are black and the tail meat is somewhat yellow-green, it means that the shrimp is not fresh or has spoiled. If the head is slightly black but the tail meat is still shiny and translucent, the shrimp is still fresh. The shells should be bright and firm. Fresh shrimp should have a firm body that is attached to the shell.

The head, belly, and tail of the shrimp should be firm and completely connected. If they are separated, it is a sign that the shrimp is spoiled. The legs, shell, and tentacles of healthy shrimp should be firm. If the tentacles and legs are detached from each other, or if some of the shell has come off, this indicates that the shrimp is no longer fresh and has begun to spoil. The eyes of healthy shrimp should be bright, shiny, and firm. Healthy shrimp should smell of the sea or seaweed. Avoid shrimp that smell like ammonia. Healthy shrimp should have shiny, firm, white, and juicy flesh.

There should be no black spots on the shrimp's shell, as these are signs of spoilage. The shrimp's shell should not be yellow or sandy, as these are signs of chemicals added to the shrimp's shell to whiten it. If you are buying frozen farmed shrimp, be sure to look for the health certificate, production date, and expiration date. High-quality farmed shrimp should have a mild, salty, sea-like odor. Before buying shrimp, pay attention to the smell of the shrimp. Do not buy shrimp that have a strange or foul odor, such as ammonia.

Storing Farmed Shrimp

Since seafood like fish and shrimp are very temperature sensitive, it is very important to keep them cold. Therefore, place the shrimp or any other seafood you have purchased in the refrigerator as soon as possible. After purchasing the shrimp, if it takes a while to transfer it from the car to the refrigerator, place a Coleman ice cube tray in your car and fill it with ice to ensure that the shrimp remain cold and unspoiled. Most home refrigerators are usually set to a temperature slightly above the ideal temperature for storing seafood.

To defrost shrimp, place them in the refrigerator or in a bowl of cold water to gradually thaw the frozen shrimp. Never defrost shrimp at room temperature or use a microwave as doing so will cause the shrimp to lose their nutrients and dry out.
