PROTEINS & SEAFOODS

  • DRIED PRAWNS Premium Dried Prawns are carefully selected, fresh-water and marine prawns that have been cleaned, deveined, and traditionally sun-dried or air-oven dried to preserve their sweet, delicate flavor and firm texture. These golden-orange crustaceans feature a concentrated umami taste that enhances soups, stews, stir-fries, and rice dishes. When rehydrated, they provide a tender, meaty texture similar to fresh prawns but with a more intense flavor profile. Perfect for Nigerian seafood soups, fried rice, coconut rice, and as a protein-rich garnish for vegetable dishes. Available in various sizes from small to large grades. Nutritional Components (Per 100g serving) Calories: ~300-350 kcal Protein: 67-86g (dry basis) Fat: 2-5g Carbohydrates: 0-2g Moisture: 8-10% (properly dried) Ash: 10-15g Cholesterol: Moderate amount Key Vitamins:  Rich in Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, and Vitamin A (1,520 IU per serving).

Key Benefits:  An outstanding source of high-quality protein (67-86% on dry basis) essential for muscle repair and growth. Rich in calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth. High zinc and selenium content supports immune function and provides antioxidant protection. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health. Vitamin E and selenium act as antioxidants, protecting cells from damage. The drying process concentrates these nutrients while significantly reducing moisture content from ~80% in fresh prawns to ~10%, preventing microbial growth and enzymatic spoilage.
