In a world that is becoming more and more discerning about Genetically Modified Foods and Contaminated Meat Products, seafood probably stands out alone as one of the best clean food alternatives available today - especially from Australia's uncontaminated and unspoilt fishing areas around our Continent. Australian-Seafood.com believes there are more than a few benefits in considering purchases of seafoods from Australian Export producers and processors - just to name a few: Extremely favourable current exchange rates - i.e. AUD$-US$ rate has never been more competitive on the world market as it is today. This competitive edge now helps to break down the cost-barriers of "distance", be it airfeight costs or seafreight costs. Australian Seafood Exporters have, as an industry, adopted the world best HACCP based code of practice in the grading, packing and freezing of sea caught products fished from the pristine waters surrounding the Australian Continent. Shellfish products like Prawns(Shrimp) are exceptionally nutritious. It is a high protein food, low in fats. The limited amount of fat is predominantly polyunsaturated, with useful amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids. These appear to help to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and are thought to reduce the risks of heart attacks, some cancers and many other diseases. Similarly, oysters such as the Oysters farmed in Coffin Bay in South Australia, provide some of the richest sources of zinc, a requirement for human growth, and good blood flow. Oysters are easily digestible (like meat products) and contain an excellent balance of basic nutrients. These include a high amount of glycogen, taurine, and amino acids. Australian seafoods are coldwater species and are sometimes highly preferred to warm water species. Click here to make your export order enquiry.
