Many people from outside of Louisiana wonder why Louisianans bother eating crawfish, a.k.a.- mudbugs, but you may be surprised with the nutritional values of the tiny crustacean. Low in calories, boiled crawfish are low in fat and provide a healthy amount of protein. Along with protein, crawfish have several valuable vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B-12 and B-6, which helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy while helping brain development in children and producing serotonin to help regulate mood, no wonder people from Louisiana are usually so happy! We will let you know that a 3-ounce serving of crawfish meat does contain about 115 milligrams, or 40% of the recommended daily limit, of cholesterol. So like anything else, be mindful and eat in moderation, but we understand if you don't want to stop. (nutritional figures from here)
