Different between Dry and Wet Scallop
Wet scallops are commonly treated with Phosphates which is a preservative. When scallops are soaked in phosphates, they absorb water making them weigh more and thereby costing you more. (Take in mind, that you are paying for added water.) The absorbed water evaporates during cooking and, in turn, shrinks your scallops leaving them smaller, dry and somewhat tasteless. Furthermore, the added water does not let scallops brown properly during cooking. It is generally easy to discern treated scallops as they will usually appear snow-white in color.

Dry scallops are all wild and natural. They are not treated with any chemicals whatsoever. They are harvested directly from the ocean, shucked on deck, then immediately frozen on the boat to capture their quality. Dry scallops caramelize naturally during cooking to a golden brown color that is very attractive when serving. And, as you might have guessed, there is no cost-added water weight with dry scallops. Dry scallops generally have a natural vanilla color.

Benefits of Dry Scallop:

Dried scallops are rich in protein, helps nourishing the Yin, generates fluids, lowering blood pressure, reduce bloating and strengthens the stomach.

Scallops contain nutrient that can help promote cardiovascular health and give protection against colon cancer.

Sea scallops are an excellent source of cyanocobalamin or vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 helps in the formation of red blood cells and it necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

Scallops are rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, an essential nutrient for cardiovascular health. Omega 3 helps ease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, slows the growth of cancerous tumors, helps prevents arthritis and helps combat skin disorders.

Scallop is a good source of potassium and magnesium. Potassium is necessary for muscle contraction and magnesium is necessary for the proper function of muscles and nerves. It is also important for converting blood sugar into energy. Relaxation of blood vessels is associated with magnesium and thus it provides relief from hypertension.

Scallop is also a good source of selenium which helps neutralize the injurious effects of free radicals. Excessive accumulation of free radicals (which are by products of metabolism) weakens the immune system making it prone to diseases.
 
Pegsfur, we are so used to seasoning so it might not taste salty to us. Next time, just soak for an hour before adding into any cooking.

happy.gif
 
Yes yes, I add one scallop for 2 meals a day. The big dry ones. Just started for a month after being told baby can eat liao.

Wowo Pris, I was told by the chinese herbs store saying scallops are good for baby but didnt know how good. Your list is so detail!
 
Dolce,
wah seem tt u r almost ther hope the food from gdluck wun disappoint u:p

saw many mummies post the photo taken by ur hb v cute nicee...
 
Haha April me too thinking of looking after small children as well.. I was in the infant care for half a day for my son first day and tempted to change my profession
 
Piggytoh,

Yeah I hope the food would be good too.
Mr Ang (from goodluckkitchen) even advise me to order lesser..hahaha..try to save $ for me and is ok with our requests, good service.

Thanks, I enjoyed all the photoshoot with them too...heehee..all the babies are so cute n Nat was busying playing toys with them...hahahaha...
 
pris~me too i add dried scallops :p makes the porridge sweeter.one problem....lucas still like puree like food.....other than bread....cos if too grainy he will vomit
sad.gif
how ar????


April~can help me to TT my share first n i pay on on that day itself????plsssss :p
 
Oh I use frozen Japanese scallops packed in a box. They are huge, the size of my gal's palm I think. So not so good? I tasted them, very nice. Can still taste the saltishness of the sea.
 
weishy,
hei hei, no issue, I pay for u. S$14 correct?
introduce slowly let him get use to it, he may afraid to get choked.

dolcevita,
what is the date available and time slot for the photoshoot, u received the deposit i trf?

pris,
wow i love the write up abt scallop. thks for sharing.
 
weishy, yes, scallops make porridge, scallop or rice taste sweeter. You have to intro him to more texture food, once he is used to it, you will have no problem stopping puree. Feed smaller amount when it is more texture, show him chewing action and baby will follow. Ray loves texture food and can eat biscuits on his own too.

BB & April, my family is food lovers so I do read up more and find out more about food.
