In the vast culinary world, there are always forgotten “treasures”, lying quietly waiting for those who are destined to discover them. Today, the story I want to tell is about a hidden “treasure” in the body of fish – something that many people consider waste but contains incredible nutritional value.
It was a sunny afternoon, I leisurely strolled through the bustling market. Each seafood stall was bustling with buyers and sellers. Suddenly, a special scent made me stop, following the scent to a small fish stall. The stall owner was busy cleaning the fresh fish, and what caught my attention were the “extra” parts he had set aside – pieces of fish bones and fish scales.
Nutritional value of fish bones and fish scales:
1. Fish bones
In addition to the main ingredient of calcium, fish bones also contain phosphorus, marine collagen, natural minerals and trace elements such as iron, zinc, magnesium, etc. In particular, the ratio of chemical components in fish bones is the same as the ratio of these components in human bones.
Therefore, scientists believe that fish bones are a biocompatible form of human, when absorbed into the body, they will combine with young bones, stimulating bone regeneration quickly.
2. Fish scales
Surely many people will be surprised to know that fish scales are also rich in nutrients and good for health. According to Oriental medicine, fish scales are considered a good medicine. Western medicine today also shows that fish scales are really nutritious and good for health and beauty.
