Additional Introduction
Nutritional Efficacy of Korean Arkshell
The arkshell is an alkali food with high protein and low fat, containing vitamin, calcium, and iron. For the recent years, the arkshell market has been growing rapidly in the South Korean fishery market not only because the meat is chewy, juicy, and applicable to diverse food recipes but also because the arkshell is recognized as health food.
In the ancient time, the food of arkshell used to be raised up to the king’s table and ceremonial table for the ancestors as it was known as one of the eight great dishes in Korea. Its nutritional efficacy is as follows.
ㆍ Iron, vitamin B, and hemoglobin contents are excellent not only for pregnancy, skin care, and anemia but also for everyday blood creation and robustness maintenance
ㆍ Plentiful protein and amino acid effective for the growth of children and recovery from illness
ㆍ Alkali food with low calorie and low fat helpful for dieters
ㆍ Digestive and nutritious for seniors
ㆍ Helps not only discharge body wastes, fat, and internal toxins but also improves cholesterol levels by reducing neutral lipids
ㆍ Taurine and aspartic acid not only works for hangovers by helping detoxication in liver, but also enhances overall liver function
ㆍ Taurine and betaine decreases cholesterol levels through reducing blood clotting and prevents cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, contributing to blood circulation
ㆍ High level of glutamic acid content creates savory taste
ㆍ Rich nucleic acid contents strengthen immunity
ㆍ Vitamin B helps recover from fatigue and replenish vitality
