Crabmeat assists in regulating our blood pressure and some reports suggest that it also negates the harmful and carcinogenic effects of mercury, cadmium, etc. since it contains selenium (anti-oxidant).

It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids which proves to be good for heart patients. All these nutritional benefits make it a wonderful recipe for your family and kids. Moreover, seafood like crabmeat contains a very low level of saturated fat and therefore health-conscious people can eat it without any worries.
