Shrimp skin has a very high calcium content and is often called a "calcium bank." However, shrimp skin is actually very light and is rarely used in cooking or soups. If you use a small amount, you won't get much calcium. Also, shrimp skin does not contain vitamin D, which promotes calcium absorption. Therefore, when eating shrimp skin, pay attention to the combination of foods, and do not eat large amounts regularly.

Selection of Small Shrimp Skin

2. Smell for any unusual odors. Only good quality shrimp skin has no odor.

3. Taste for any unusual flavor. It should be slightly salty and have a fresh, subtle flavor.
