🌱 Producer Introduction：
♥️ Healthy Express is my way of helping two groups of people: new arrivals and interested locals who, like me, had no clue where to find ingredients, what local produce existed, where to get specialty food items, etc.; and secondly, farmers, market vendors, retailers, who had the foresight to seek out the best the products has to offer and take the risk of selling these to nutcases like myself. ♥️ Healthy Express is also my reason to overspend and overbuy every time I am in a market or food store with the excuse that it is just part of my “research budget.”

about Us
Feed You Healthy is an experienced fresh fruit and vegetable consultant who loves shopping, cooking and tasting delicious food. I have been fortunate enough to dine at some amazing restaurants around the world and shop at many spectacular markets and food stores. I love to cook and entertain at home, but I don’t have any formal training—my knife skills are mediocre, but I do learn from master chefs here and there. Food is just a personal preference.
I was born in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, and grew up in Hong Kong. After years of hard work, I was admitted to university and then to the Graduate School of HKUST. For more than a decade, I worked in IT for companies and banks, first as a technology consultant, and in my younger years I traveled all over Africa, Asia, Australia, and sometimes even to China. Now running the Food for You Healthy online store, what annoys me the most is people who lack logic and rationality... but the second thing that annoys me is having to run to a dozen local stores, markets, grocery stores, etc. to find the ingredients our customers need.
The lack of selection, inventory and consistency in produce, meats and dry goods was frustrating, but we learned to adapt. Over the past few years, the food options we have available have increased dramatically, and I have begun to experiment with some lesser-known sources to contact my own suppliers. I learn something every week, and now I find myself learning and being exposed to something new almost every day, which I sincerely share with customers who ask for it.

🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
This is what local vendors refer to as a Female “Virgin” Crabs. It’s apron is a bit more rounded, almost similar at this point to a female’s apron. But the color of the shell is lighter and it seems somewhere between a clearly male specimen and a clearly female specimen, hence its local designation as being gay… go figure the logic there. In fact, it is actually a JUVENILE FEMALE CRAB, and almost certainly one that is VIRTUOUS and VIRGINAL, as its flap is tightly closed, and like that of a JUVENILE MALE, not readily pried open. This young female simply hasn’t reached sexual maturity and can’t get down and dirty, yet. :) But it is NOT NECESSARILY GAY or BAKLA and so yes, those vendors have been pulling your leg, and speaking without factual content. Please let them know the next time you’re in the market. :) While we are on this topic, I tried to figure out what the Filipino word for “virgin” would be and could only come up with “birhen” as in the Virgin Mary. I thought it nice to name this crab a “young woman” rather than a “inheritance” in lieu of “ Virgin” — but as someone pointed out, these days, many “young woman” ain’t so virtuous… So for lack of a better word, the next time I go to the market, I will tell the vendor it isn’t gay, it’s a female virgin crab… :)

Cooking Skills：Cantonese people eat yanzi crabs, which are always steamed and then dipped in vinegar to accompany the food. In the past decade or so, most people have used the method of salt-baked crabs to cook, gradually replacing steaming. The reason may be that coarse salt can bring out the umami taste of the crab and add a salty aroma.
Do not remove the straw rope tied to the crab when cooking, because the crab will struggle during the cooking process, and the crab meat will shrink due to this, which will affect the meat quality! If you are still worried that the crab will struggle, you can put the crab in the freezer for 20 minutes to make it faint (no need to untie the rope) before cooking!
Notes：
Suggested Eating Method：
The Cantonese eat the crab, and the cooking method does not leave steamed, and then sticks to the vinegar. In the past ten years, I have used salt to cook crabs, which have gradually replaced steamed. The reason may be that coarse salt can bring out the umami flavor of the crab and add salty fragrance.
Do not disassemble the straw rope and tied to the crab when cooking, because the crab will struggle in the cooking process, and the crab meat will shrink and affect the meat quality! If you are still worried that the crab will struggle, you can put the crab in the refrigerator in the ice cabinet for 20 minutes, so that it fainted (without the need to unlock the rope) before cooking!
You make a salted crab with a gas -fried pan and make a delicious meal for your family and friends!
