Yeah, I was going to buy a few packets but then checked the carb content and it's 3x higher than the normal Woolworths branded Almond Meal :/
Good price on prawn meat - these are peeled, but is the intestinal line removed?
yes removed.
also, they used to be really good big prawn when they first came out also on special at $10, went through few bags of these.
last month they were on sale at 10 I got a couple, noticed their prawn sizes are smaller, although same weight in the bag obviously, even smaller when cooked, doesn't get the satisfactory feeling of good prawn meat as previously. maybe they've improved, don't knowI've bought a few of these a few times and am generally happy with it. What I don't get is why are Argentinian prawns taken to the opposite side of the globe to Malaysia, then peeled and packed to be sold in Australia. Thats crazy amount of frequent flier miles - and also what is the story behind it?
Intestinal lines stuffed with Argentinian cocaine which is removed and sold in Malaysia.
The carb content in Almonds is primarily fiber…
Re the prawns: "Argentinian Prawns Peeled and Packed in Malaysia"
Exclusively for Aussie markets.. I really don't get why and how can this be so cheap?
Probably done by hand, shipping is cheap enough to ship to where labor is cheapest.
I notice frozen prawns in general shrinks a lot when cooked, compared to fresh prawns.
Seems like they're injected with water before freezing
Strange disclaimer in the product details: "For human consumption only, not to be used for bait or aquatic feed." Ok for humans, but not ok for fish?
Are they worried about seafood cannibalism?
Sounds fishy to me.
Probably because it has bacteria and other pathogens not native to our waters. Your fish may lack the immunity to fight these off. Hence cooking is required.
Queensland had an outbreak of white spot disease in prawns last year. It decimated the prawn industry up here. Thought to have been introduced by imported frozen bait prawns. It's not harmful to humans though.
This is actually a big problem - prawns do have diseases specific to their species and using these as bait can potentially contaminate and spread the disease to local stocks. AFAIK, these are safe for human consumption

if you look at the ingredients, it said prawns and water.
Where does the water come from?Don't most carbon based lifeforms contain water?
And I assume things that live in water would probably have even more water inside than those living on land.
Water is added to reduce freezer burn.
Water is added to charge more per kg more like it.
I bought 10 packets last time. Cannot get anymore this time. Freezer too full of stuff.
At $20 a kilo this seems really good - but just how much water is injected?
Since prawns are normally ~$30/kg, and considering they're still making profit… probably at least a third of the weight. The real question is, what's the source of the water. e.g. In China people drink only bottled water because what comes out of their tap is contaminated with heavy metals, etc. So who knows what's pumped into these. (I'll still eat them because meat prices are ridiculous, and I'll just hope someone somewhere in government is genuinely doing their job correctly - yeah right - but still…)
I've had these specific ones before - they BBQ up fine and are really nice. Not really sure if there is shrinkage from the water that is added, but seems good. $30 a kilo - I thought it was closer to $40!
Yep, "~" = about.
Aldi is about $31/kg I think, and while there are certainly more expensive ones, ColesWorths cheapest prawns are about that price too.
Oh - and there sure is shrinkage. Try doing garlic prawns in a hot wok and they shrink before your eyes… You select the amount of prawns you think will suffice for a meal, but once they're cooked they've lost at least a third of their size, if not half - and you're wondering why you're hungry. It also explains why there's so much moisture to boil-off in the wok.
Bought one prawns package last time. Good for bbq, panfry, fry rice, but not good to add into soup/noudle… Will take another package anw
I use it for fried noodles, so tasty.One reason the prawns shrinks a lot is because we overcooked it.
When does this end?
For the prawns - 1st Oct. Written on the instore price tag.
Great, thanks.
For some reason, the carb content on lucky almonds are high. This has been referenced before, no one knows why. Better than flour though.
