"Alien monster" was chosen by Quynh Tran JP to supplement pregnancy, extremely difficult to buy

Quynh Tran JP's pregnancy journey always receives the attention of the audience. She still regularly reviews the nutritious dishes she chooses throughout her pregnancy.

From sophisticated dishes to rare specialties, every time the soon-to-be-born mother posts it, it makes the online community admire. In the latest video, Quynh Tran JP shared about a unique sea bug dish - a seafood that actress Phuong Oanh previously chose as a supplement in the last months of pregnancy.

According to Quynh Tran JP, sea bugs have a greasy taste and she even commented that it tastes better than king crab - one of the favorite seafood of mothers during pregnancy. What's special is that sea bugs only appear seasonally, making owning and enjoying this dish a luxury.

Not only Quynh Tran JP, in the past, actress Phuong Oanh - Shark Binh's wife also surprised the audience when reviewing this sea bug. Despite the appearance of being likened to an "alien monster," sea bugs contain a huge amount of nutrients, especially the super-large amount of eggs inside. For these reasons, Quynh Tran JP and Phuong Oanh both chose this unique dish when they were pregnant.

Although sea bugs have a fancy shape and attract the curiosity of many people, the price of this seafood makes it not easy for everyone to own. According to professional fishermen, catching sea bugs is not simple because they live on the bottom of the deep sea. To be able to catch them, fishermen must use specialized equipment and move away from the shore. This has made the price of sea bugs always at a high level, usually ranging from 1,500,000 to 1,800,000 VND/kg at the beginning of the season. At the end of the season, the price can increase to 2,500,000 VND/kg, making this dish a "specialty of the rich" that even wealthy families find difficult to afford.

In the past, sea bugs used to cost only a few tens of thousands of VND per kg, but over time, the rarity and difficulty in catching have pushed up the price. In Vietnam, this seafood can only be found in certain waters such as Khanh Hoa, Quang Ngai, and Phu Yen.

Nutritional benefits of sea bugs for pregnant women

More than just a luxury dish, sea bugs also offer many significant nutritional benefits for pregnant women. With an abundant content of protein, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12, sea bugs are a valuable source of nutrition to help supplement nutrients for pregnant women and fetuses. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), pregnant women can eat seafood in moderation, 2-3 servings per week, provided they choose low-mercury seafood such as sea bugs.

However, to ensure safety, experts recommend that pregnant women consult a doctor or nutritionist before consuming any seafood during pregnancy.

Dr. Do Thi Ngoc Diep - vice president of the Vietnam Nutrition Association - said that sea bugs are a family of sea crustaceans, which have existed for a long time. The meat and eggs of sea bugs are edible and contain many nutritional values. Note that people must process ripe sea bugs, avoid eating them raw or undercooked. For people with food allergies, it should be limited.

Note that seafood is easy to cause allergies, be careful when eating

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lam, former deputy director of the National Institute of Nutrition, said that there are many types of seafood that can cause allergies such as crabs, shrimp, crabs, fish (shark, tuna, swordfish, grouper...), clams, oysters, snails, squid, snails, etc.

In particular, high-risk subjects who are susceptible to seafood allergies are children, the elderly, people with one of the allergic diseases such as asthma, eczema, or in the family with many people with allergies. However, because they do not use seafood every day, many people do not know whether they are allergic or not.

The manifestations of seafood allergies are very diverse and often occur very quickly. Mild manifestations may include urticaria, itching, and an unpleasant hangover, usually after a few hours the symptoms will "dive away".

There are also severe cases with neurological manifestations such as headaches, dizziness, fainting, and coma. Especially anaphylaxis when there is cardiovascular collapse with shock symptoms such as cold skin, small rapid pulse, purple streaks, and low blood pressure.

"The level of allergy does not depend on the amount of food eaten more or less, but depends on the level of sensitivity of each person. Therefore, when seeing that the patient has suspicious symptoms due to food allergy or seafood allergy, it is necessary to induce vomiting for the patient and take them to the nearest hospital or medical facility," Ms. Lam advised.

Doctors at Hung Vuong General Hospital recommend that if you have a history of reacting to any food, you need to avoid it, in case of allergies.

Note, if the body is allergic after eating, it is necessary to quickly take it to the nearest medical facility for examination. Absolutely not treated with folk tips, word of mouth without scientific basis will be very dangerous to life.
