Qzeen’s Homemade Frozen Prawns are a must-have in the upcoming winter season in Lahore.  Prawns are a lean source of protein, low in fat. Prawns are also a rich source of unsaturated fats, which can improve your overall health. If you are trying to lose weight, prawns are the perfect low-fat food choice.

Here are 5 health benefits of eating prawns in winter:

1. Eating prawns provides a complete protein, which means it includes all nine amino acids in the right proportion for the body to function properly.
2. Prawns are extremely low in calories. The same 100 grams of prawns contain only about 115 calories. Chicken contains about twice as much and beef three times as much.
3. While prawns contain higher than average amounts of cholesterol, they do not lead to higher cholesterol levels in the body due to their healthy fat profile. This is because they contain almost three times more Omega 3 Fatty Acid than they do Omega 6 Fatty Acid. Studies have shown that foods with high amounts of Omega 3 are associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks and lower blood pressure. In fact, the cholesterol contained in prawns is vital for a healthy diet.
4. Prawns are a great source of Vitamins B-6, B-12, and Niacin, which help the body produce energy, build muscle and replenish red blood cells.
5. Eating prawns helps build strong bones because they contain phosphorous, copper, and magnesium.
6. Prawns contain significant amounts of iron, a mineral that is essential for the body to effectively distribute oxygen
