Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Eating jellyfish: Why scientists are talking up a 'perfect food'
Jellyfish are free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles. They live in most seas in the world from surface waters to the deep sea. Many kinds of jellyfish are edible and considered a delicacy in some Asian cultures because of the chewy texture. Some say it tastes like somewhere between cucumbers and rubber bands. Also, jellyfish are good for diet as they contain 36 calories per 85-gram serving, about the same calorie as iceberg lettuce.
They are often caught unintentionally by fishermen as bycatch. If humans keep eating only what they like, the marine ecosystem may not be sustained. If humans are conscious of their balanced diet, humans also need to do balanced fishing, including fish, shellfish, and jellyfish.
For a new diet, there are insects and worms on the ground and jellyfish in the sea.
Enjoy watching the video about jellyfish as food.
