      Scallops are a family in the order Pterostilbeta of the order Pterozoa of the class Bivalvia. They are widely distributed in various sea areas around the world, with tropical seas having the most abundant species. About 45 species have been discovered in China, among which the Chlamydia scallop in the north and the Zhikong scallop in the south and the long-rib sun and moon clam are important economic species. Scallops, also known as sea scallops, have delicious meat and rich nutrition. After their adductor muscles are dried, they become "scallops" and are listed as one of the Eight Delicacies.

      nutritional value

      Shellfish molluscs contain delta 7-cholesterol and 24-methylene cholesterol, which have the effect of lowering serum cholesterol. They have the unique effect of inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and accelerating the excretion of cholesterol, thereby reducing cholesterol in the body. They are more effective than the commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug sitosterol. People often feel a refreshing and pleasant feeling after eating shellfish, which is undoubtedly beneficial to relieve some troublesome symptoms.
