Imitation Crab
Imitation Crab is a processed seafood product made from surimi (white fish paste) and flavorings, commonly used in salads, sushi (California rolls) and cold seafood dishes. It is known for imitating the texture and mild flavor of crab at a lower cost and with a long shelf life. In terms of nutrition, Imitation Crab is a low‑fat, moderately protein‑containing option with about 7.7g of protein per 100g, but it also contains added starches and sugars that raise its carbohydrate content. It can contribute small amounts of nutrients found in seafood, such as B‑vitamins and selenium. Because it is a highly processed product, consider it an occasional convenience item rather than a whole‑food staple; it supplies useful protein but tends to be higher in sodium and contains additives common to ultra‑processed foods.
