Crocodile meat

Crocodile or Crocodilia belongs to the order of aquatic vertebrate reptiles. Many researchers claim that crocodiles appeared on planet Earth more than 250 million years ago. Crocodiles live in fresh waters of tropical countries. Residents of the tropics have long used crocodile meat for food. Nowadays, in addition to crocodile meat, animal skins are at a price, from which elite haberdashery products are made. Crocodile meat is used in dishes in Southeast Asian countries.

Interestingly, the surge in interest in the meat of the crocodile and other exotic animals arose against the background of numerous problems with livestock. Various diseases that were transmitted from animal to human through meat and led to deaths, undermined confidence in traditional types of product. Customers began to pay more and more attention to alternative food products, albeit more expensive, but safe for health.

The Philippine islands and Thailand are considered a mecca for crocodile meat lovers. On all major islands of the archipelago, as well as in the Kingdom of Thailand, there are local national parks and farms where various species of crocodiles are grown, including for meat. The meat of young crocodiles (the tail of a predator) is considered a real delicacy. Crocodile meat can be prepared in a variety of ways. For example, fry, extinguish or bake on an open fire. In our latitudes, crocodile meat steak is a rare and expensive treat.

However, in major Asian cities and resorts, you can easily find a restaurant where you will be served crocodile meat toasted with ginger and onions. Connoisseurs claim that crocodile meat is a versatile product that is combined with vegetables, as well as sauces, soups or salads. In Asian cuisine, crocodile meat is served under sweet and sour sauces. The taste and aroma of crocodile meat under the wine sauce with cream is not much inferior to the more savoury Asian version.

Another argument for crocodile meat is an environmentally friendly food. Crocodiles are grown on farms without dietary supplements or growth stimulants, so meat does not accumulate harmful substances. It is believed that crocodile meat has a generally strengthening effect on the human body. Crocodile meat contains a large amount of natural proteins that saturate the body and are fully absorbed.

In addition, the calorie content of crocodile meat is at a fairly low level, only 110 Kcal per 100 grams of product. Crocodile meat is just the perfect product - tasty, healthy and low-calorie. That's just inaccessible or too expensive for the inhabitants of our latitudes.
