The live snail loses weight until it is sold because it is preserved enclosed in its shell with a membrane, losing approximately 20% in 2-3 months.<\/p>

\u00a0Their origin from a legal farm makes them safe for consumption, unlike 'wild' ones that we cannot always know what they feed on (e.g. in fields with pesticides, in rivers with sewage or even from the corpses of other animals.)<\/p>

\u00a0While it is a seasonal product, with our processing (pre-boiling, freezing, packaging) the end consumer can find it all year round.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

100 grams of pure meat contains 75 calories, 14g of protein, 2.7g of carbohydrates and only 1g of fat. They have a low salt content, and they have several advantages over other meats. On the one hand, they have a low calorie and fat content, and on the other hand, they have a high content of mineral nutrients, essential amino acids and beneficial fatty acids. The caloric value of snail meat is 75 calories per 100 grams of meat ready for consumption, less than the meat of various fish, birds and mammals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The snails are selected, cleaned (both at the farm and in the laboratory), boiled with herbs (for about 30 minutes), packaged in various packages and frozen in a blast freezer. Instructions and recipes are included in the package. They are kept in the freezer at temperatures of -18\u00b0C where they are kept for over a year. They do not need to be thawed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. In relation to the living<\/strong> snails have a lot longer life<\/strong> as a product and cooked quickly<\/strong> as they do not need the preparation of the living. <\/strong><\/li>
  2. Also in relation to live snails they have a lot heavier weight<\/strong>, because they are processed immediately after collection by the kennel and do not manage to lose weight, while the live snail<\/strong> until sold it loses weight because it self-maintains closed in its shell with a membrane, it loses about 20% in 2-3 months.<\/li>
  3. Snails are one of them healthier foods, rich in protein, trace elements and vitamins with low fat and low calories<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Their origin from a Legal Farm makes them safe for <\/strong>consumption<\/strong>, unlike the 'wild' that we do not know what they feed on (eg in pesticide fields, rivers with sewage or even the carcasses of other animals.)<\/li>
  5. While it is<\/strong> seasonal product<\/strong> with our processing (pre-freezing, freezing, packaging) the end consumer can find them all year round.<\/strong><\/li>
  6. The fillets are ready for any culinary use or recipe in a pot or pan. It is a natural, highly nutritious food, with high levels of protein and almost no fats and sugars<\/strong>. It is a product fasting <\/strong>which can accompany pasta, be used in soups, omelets, pies or pizzas, be stewed, fried in flour or batter and generally used in any traditional or non-traditional recipe.<\/li>
  7. It is a highly nutritious food, low in calories, with top nutrients.<\/u> 100 grams of lean meat contains 75 calories, 14g protein, 2.7g carbohydrates and only 1g fat. In addition, it has a very low salt content, while it is a rich source of vitamins, trace elements<\/strong> and metals, especially iron, potassium and magnesium.\u00a0<\/li>
  8. First of all, snail meat is a delicacy for connoisseurs, but it also has several advantages over other meats. It has a low content of calories and fats, and on the other hand a high content of inorganic nutrients, essential amino acids and beneficial fatty acids. The caloric value of snail meat is 60-90 calories per 100 grams of ready-to-eat meat, less than the meat of various fish, poultry and mammals.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
