The fertilized eggs in the body of the female crab to be born have been developed and begin to transform into small crabs, and melanin, anthocyanins, etc. are concentrated on the crab roe, causing the crab roe to turn black or gray.
Two types of people are really not suitable for eating crab roe:
One is people with dyslipidemia and hyperbiliary heteremia. The cholesterol in crab roe is higher.
The second is pregnant women. Heavy metals such as cadmium, as well as pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls are easily enriched in the liver and pancreas, which are more harmful to fetal development. It is recommended to eat less or no crab roe, and it doesn't matter if the crab meat is there.
Parts that crabs can't eat:
The gills opened in strips of crab shells cannot be eaten, it is the respiratory organ of crabs, which filters the outside water body and is easy to enrich heavy metals and other pollutants. The triangular part of the front half of the crab shell and under the eyes is the crab stomach, and a black strip is the crab intestine, and the digestive part is also prone to accumulation of pollutants, so try to avoid it.
The crab gills are the respiratory system of crabs, which should not be eaten, the crab heart is too cold, and it is generally not suitable for consumption, the crab stomach contains a lot of garbage, which is not suitable for consumption, and the crab intestines contain the excrement of crabs, which should not be eaten.

The black inside the female crab roe is the crab stomach.
The black inside the female crab roe is the crab stomach, the stomach of the female crab is located in the middle of the crab roe, most of them are wrapped in the crab roe, which is black, and the steamed female crab roe is golden yellow, and the stomach in the middle is also deflated into a waxy membrane.
Many of the female crabs I bought were very fresh, and there was a lot of food in the stomach, so the black stomach could be seen in the middle of the steamed crab roe. The female crabs that are usually eaten outside have been fed with water for a long time, and the food in the stomach is completely digested and drained cleanly.
Crab paste
Crab paste can also be fat. Because the male crab gradually accumulates fat in preparation for winter, it grows into crab paste. Peel off the shell of the male crab, and you can see that there is a white, sticky thing in the crab shell and the crab lump, which is crab paste.
When cooked, the crab paste becomes translucent. The more crab paste, the stronger the male crab.
In the wild environment, in the ninth lunar month, the crab roe of the female crab grows the fullest. In October, the crab paste of male crabs grows at its thickest. Therefore, in the past, there was a saying that there were nine females and ten males when eating crabs. It means that female crabs should be eaten in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and male crabs should be eaten in the tenth month of the lunar calendar.
