What exactly is the black line on the back of a shrimp? Is it OK to eat?
Shrimp is one of the seafood loved by many people, and it is loved by everyone for its delicious taste and rich nutritional value. However, in the process of eating shrimp, we may find a black line on the back of the shrimp, which makes one wonder: what exactly is this black line? Is it OK to eat?
First of all, let's take a look at the ** of this black line. This black line is actually the shrimp's digestive system, also known as the "gut". The digestive system of shrimp consists of a black digestive tract that is responsible for breaking down the food swallowed by shrimp into nutrients for shrimp to absorb and utilize. Therefore, this black line is actually the digestive organ of the shrimp.
So, is this black line edible? The answer is yes. In fact, this black line does not affect the taste and nutritional value of the shrimp meat. Moreover, since the digestive system of the shrimp is located on the back of the shrimp and is connected to the shrimp meat, this black line will gradually dissolve during the cooking process without causing any effect on the shrimp meat.
However, it is important to note that when buying shrimp, we should choose fresh shrimp. The black line on the back of fresh shrimp should be black, not gray or brown. This is because the gray or brown black lines may be due to the fact that the shrimp are no longer fresh, causing the black lines to change color. In addition, the black lines on the back of fresh shrimp should be tight, not loose. The loose black line may be due to the fact that the shrimp is no longer fresh, causing the black line to loosen.
In short, the black line on the back of the shrimp is actually the digestive system of the shrimp and does not affect the taste and nutritional value of the shrimp meat. When buying and eating shrimp, we should choose fresh shrimp to ensure food safety and taste.
