Crabcakes are a popular food found along the eastern seaboard. You’ll want to consider the nutritional contents of crab cakes to decide whether you want to include them as part of a healthy diet.

Crabcakes do usually have some sort of vegetable, often carrots or celery. These are an important addition to crabcakes for a number of reasons. Vegetables contain numerous vitamins and minerals that are important for good health. They also contain lots of dietary fiber, which has been found to be effective in the treatment and prevention of a number of dangerous conditions, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Fiber is great for people who are dieting because it is “bulky,” meaning that it takes up a lot of room in your stomach, making you feel full and preventing overeating more calorically dense foods.

Crabcakes are sky high in fat. They’re often made with mayonnaise, which contains lots of saturated fat. Like cholesterol, saturated fat has been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease, stroke and even some cancers. While there are some brands of mayonnaise now being sold as containing olive oil, don’t be fooled. There may be a bit of olive oil in the product (which is gaining in popularity due to the fact that is has unsaturated instead of saturated fat, and therefore prevents and treats some of the conditions caused by saturated fats), there is still a lot of the saturated fat found in the mayonnaise. In addition, crabcakes are typically fried. This adds tons of calories to your meal. When making crabcakes at home, try baking instead of frying. If you must fry your crabcakes, use olive oil. While this is still very high in calories, at least you’ll be getting unsaturated instead of saturated fat in your diet.

Really! wow, then I should eat garn=banzos often too.

So how do you cook them? I love them cooked in meat with tomato sauce.

But you know even without eating garbanzos, I have a happy disposition. Although sometimes I easily can snap at anyone who is stupid in doing things and asking impertinent questions.

I guess , I need to eat that indeed. So, how much each day should we eat of it?

@Dina , I only boil this veggie with sauce only.I am not anymore inspired ti write here this time.

@Dina, this day, I bought 1 kilo garbanzos and plan to deep fry some.I have learned that we can deep fry this veggie. I will use corn cooking oil to make it yummier. I also plan to cook this with plentiful tomatoes and pepper to add flavor and strength of the veggie. This veggie is so light and it seems no bones if compared to vertebrates.Should you like to cook this with tomato cat sup use Del Monte tomato cat sup or sauce, very nutritious food.

It is really a brilliant post.

Nowadays, we don’t rely only on books. We can now gain knowledge through surfing the net. One can even go to different places in the world through the internet. No neet to buy expensive books.

Though of course, novels are good to read also. And they can be bought cheap on second hand bookstores.

@Dina, While it is true internet can supply us info, but do not forget, if you own the limited internet, you can never achieve your goals in reading for your mind surely explores to browse other things that may tempt you to stop reading what you like.Academic books are very important students to concentrate.They do not even know the author of the book.They are like persons sick of amnesia.

@G Look, Hi? Thanks for the inspiring words, very much appreciated.Happy Valentine.

I have actually just taken an apple for dinner tonight and already full. But seeing the picture of this recipe, I got hungry and would like to have a taste of this.
What made me curious to see how t,his is cooked is it being in curry .
I wonder how it tastes and do your son like curry flavored dish?

Are the cracked wheat cooked already after soaking it for 20 minutes?
I like salads, but it’s the first time I have heard of onewith cracked wheat which is bulghur so i know what it is already , since In our primary grades our teacher would let their maid cook the bulghur, donated by the US government to our school . And it’s delicious cooked in milk and some sugar.
Going back to the salad , I cannot imagine the taste though since there’s bulghur which seems out of place in a salad of veggies.

Very good recipe. I heard about it somewhere long back. The chickpea and celery are rich in nutrients. The chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber Nothing can replace chickpea with regard to its fiber content. They are especially good for preparation of Salads. Celery is the best source of Vitamin K, B, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Potassium, Potassium, and Magnesium.Moreover, this is rich in Fiber also. It mixes well with chickpeas.

I will prepare this Salad for the next Sunday and see its taste.
