Can pregnant women eat crab sticks?

It is best not to eat it. Although crab sticks are not made of crabs, they are made of flour, spices, and pigments, so it is better to eat less. It is best not to eat crabs, because crabs have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which may make the fetus uneasy and have the effect of moving the fetus, and it is also very likely to cause miscarriage.

Pregnant women should not eat the following four kinds of food:

1. Crab: It is cold in nature, has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effect.

2. Turtle: Turtle is salty and cold in nature, and has a strong effect in clearing blood vessels and dispersing blood stasis, so it has certain disadvantages of causing abortion. In particular, the abortion effect of turtle shell is stronger than that of turtle meat.

3. Job's tears: It has a stimulating effect on uterine smooth muscle and can promote uterine contraction, thus potentially inducing miscarriage.

4. Purslane: Purslane juice has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus and can easily cause miscarriage.

However, it should be noted that it is best to tear off the outer plastic film when boiling crab sticks, so that it is safer to eat. There are two main processes for crab stick food processing. The shape and texture of the finished products are different, but the taste is basically the same. One is to first apply the fish paste into a thin sheet, then steam, roast, roll the stripes, and then roll it into a roll. After the finished product is unfolded, the fish meat can be torn into thin strips along the stripes to make crab sticks; the other is to directly fill the fish paste into a cylindrical shape and then steam it. This kind of product adds pre-made artificial crab meat fibers to the ingredients before forming. At present, the first type of crab stick products are mostly in the domestic and foreign markets.
