Nutritional Benefits You Enjoy For Eating Snails

Nutritional Benefits You Enjoy For Eating Snails

Nutritional Benefits You Enjoy For Eating Snails
Snails are quite nutritious as long as you resist the butter sauce that often accompanies them.

Snails are surprisingly nutritious, as long as you don't eat all the butter often slathered over and around them. Like any animal meat, snails which sound much more edible when referred to by their French name of escargot provide a hefty dose of protein, little carbohydrate and some fat. Snails also serve as an excellent source of iron and other essential minerals, such as potassium and phosphorus.

Calories and Protein
A 100-gram serving of snails about 3.5 ounces provides 90 calories. Most of the calories in a dish of snails come from protein. A serving of snails packs a protein punch that, while not quite equal to beef or chicken, compares favorably with seafood. A 100-gram serving adds 16.5 grams of protein to your diet, compared to 30 grams in a serving of white-meat chicken and 25 grams in a serving of dark-meat chicken. A 100-gram serving of catfish provides 19 grams of protein. Studies found that snails provided an excellent and inexpensive source of protein and iron for children and young mothers.

Carbohydrates
If you're following a low-carbohydrate diet, both snails and their most frequent accompaniment melted butter fit well into your diet as a snack, an appetizer or a meal. A serving of snails contains just 2 grams of carbohydrates, while the butter doesn't add a single carb.

Fat
Like other animal sources of food, snails do contain fat, although not very much. An entire serving contains just 1.4 grams of fat, with slightly more unsaturated than saturated fat. A serving of snails contains 50 grams of cholesterol; if you add the butter sauce, you will get extra dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. A tablespoon of butter contains 11 grams of fat and 31 grams of cholesterol.

Vitamins and Minerals
A 100-gram serving supplies 3.5 milligrams of iron; that's more iron than beef, which contains around 4 milligrams of iron in a 6-ounce serving. This equals nearly half of your daily 8 milligram iron requirement if you're male or a postmenopausal woman and about 20 percent of the 18 milligrams you need if you're a woman of childbearing age. A serving of snails contains about the same amount of potassium as beef, 382 milligrams, as well as 250 milligrams of magnesium, far more than beef, chicken, pork or fish, which provide about 30 milligrams of magnesium.

Preparation
Preparing snails properly is imperative if you don't want to get sick. Snail intestines can contain decayed material and toxins. You must purge their intestines for about 10 days if you're preparing them yourself. Feed the snails plain lettuce during this period. Give them only water two days before you plan to eat them, so they have time to discharge all their slime, If you're purchasing prepared snails, buy only from a trusted commercial source.


Thanks for your Time.

Wachauer Marillenknödel

Wachauer Marillenknödel

Try your hand at these traditional apricot dumplings, as made in the Lower Austrian Wachau Valley.
 © Österreich Werbung, Wolfgang Schardt
The mild climate and fertile soil of the Wachau Valley not only produce outstanding white wines; they are also perfect for fruit-growing. When the apricots are ripe, this Lower Austrian region becomes a dumpling paradise. The apricot dumpling, or Marillenknödel, is wholly emblematic of the Wachau region. And it is also a clear illustration of how theAustrian people are open to other cultures. For this delicacy combines what is originally a Chinese fruit (the apricot) with a plant from Polynesia (sugar) and an Upper Austrian way of preparing food (the dumpling). And the EU – as you might come to expect – likewise plays an official role in this particular dish. The GI certification of controlled origin “Wachauer Marille g.U.” guarantees that these fruits belong to the best of their kind.
 
Ingredients (makes approx. 10 dumplings):
300 g low-fat quark
200 g flour
Approx. 60 g butter, at room temperature
1 packet (8 g) vanilla sugar
1 egg
A pinch of salt
Approx. 10 small apricots
Approx. 10 sugar cubes

For the garnish:
Approx. 100 g breadcrumbs
Approx. 100 g butter
Cinnamon powder
Icing sugar

How to make them:
1. Mix the softened butter with the vanilla sugar and a small pinch of salt until creamed through. Stir in the egg with the quark and flour and work into a malleable dough. Form into a ball, wrap in film and leave in a cool place to rest for approx. 30 minutes.

2. Remove the stones from the apricots and place a sugar cube in their place.

3. On a floured work surface shape the dough into a roll of approx. 5 cm thickness. Cut off slices and gently press these flat between the hands. Place the apricot into the dough, press the dough around it and seal well. Apply some flour to the hands, form dumplings and place on a similarly-floured board.

4. Bring a generous amount of slightly-salted water to the boil in a large saucepan. Turn down the heat, place the apricot dumplings in the water and allow to simmer gently for 10–13 minutes. Stir carefully from time to time to prevent the dumplings from sticking to one another.

5. For the garnish, melt the butter in a pan. Add the breadcrumbs, flavour with cinnamon and fry until golden yellow in colour. Towards the end, add a generous quantity of sugar. Carefully remove the cooked dumplings and roll in the prepared sugared breadcrumbs. Arrange and dust with icing sugar.

To ensure that the dumplings do not fall apart, it is advisable to cook a test dumpling before filling with the fruit. If necessary, adjust the dough mix by adding more flour if too soft, or by adding butter if too firm.

Cooking time: 10–13 minutes
