prawns - what nutritional value

[PaintedLady]

DD1 loves them and she is a fussy eater so I am glad. However, am not sure of nutritional value and can find nothing on internet about it!! Are they proteins and good for you? Any vits and mins in? Or are they full of cholestorol(seem to vaguley recall). Is there a big prawn cover up cos they are really bad for you???

Found this.....
A good source of omega 3 fatty acids
*An excellent source of protein
*A great way to get iron, zinc and vitamin E

Paintedlady, i've wondered the same myself and not been able to found out. Will add them to my shopping list. my kids love them but i dodn't know whether they were a harmless extra or of some nutritional value.
