The high-protein, low-fat content of snail meat makes it a healthy alternative to industrially raised foods. Snails possess anti-cancer properties and boost the immune system due to their antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. An average snail is comprised of 80% water, 15% protein and 2.4% fat. They contain selenium and are a rich source of vitamins E, A, K and B12.Pork, tonic herbs and sea snails in a stew pot Ingredients: 3 dried sea snail slices a pack of tonic herbsabout 8 pieces of lean meat 3 ginger slices Directions: Wash the dried sea snail slices and soak them for 20 minutes, rinse with cold water and discard the water. Rinse the lean meat, then add all the ingredients to the clay pot. Add enough water to cover the ingredients. Boil on high heat for 10 minutes, remove the foam from the boiling water to reduce the fat content and turn to low heat for 3 hours to make a rich tasting, nuttritious soup. Season with salt. Chinese tonic herbs can improve spleen/pancreas function and appetite, nourish yin body fluids, eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and help prevent infection and water retention.
