The National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA), along with the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) and the Seafood Nutritional Partnership (SNP), have presented a new specialized guide to promote the nutritional benefits of shrimp.
Nutritionists, chefs, and representatives from various media outlets attended the presentation event. Additionally, the event featured an immersive art gallery dedicated to Ecuadorian shrimp to learn about its history and production process.
The 'Nutritional Guide to Shrimp' emphasizes that lean protein is crucial for muscle development and repair, promotes bone health, helps with weight management, and supports overall functioning.
Regarding these benefits, nutrition expert Dr. María José Viteri explained, "Food is not just a source of protein; it is a superfood that strengthens our immune, nervous, and thyroid systems."
Furthermore, Pamela Nath, Director of the SSP, highlighted, "This guide will allow dietitians to dispel myths about aquaculture and educate their clients on the positive impact of high-quality shrimp on people's health and the environment."
Finally, José Antonio Camposano, Executive President of CNA, confirmed, "We are aware that we have a high-quality protein. That is why we provide nutritionists and chefs with a valuable tool: the Shrimp Nutritional Guide, designed to facilitate the recommendation of shrimp as part of a healthy diet."
According to the CNA, Ecuadorian shrimp is exported to more than 70 countries and is considered The Best Shrimp in the World for its unmatched quality, flavor, texture, and size.
Four years ago, the organization launched the 'Shrimp Master Guide', a tool to promote this product in international markets. This guide featured a variety of culinary techniques that highlight the unique qualities of Ecuadorian shrimp.
The CNA and the SSP have already collaborated on other initiatives this year, such as the 'Scale-Up Programme for Shrimp Hatcheries'. This project promotes the sustainable management of shrimp larvae production.
