How Crayfish, Stockfish and Iru Can Help Manage High Blood Pressure

Last Sunday afternoon, just as NEPA lights went off, my neighbour knocked asking for crayfish. I handed her a small handful and within minutes her soup went from bland to “who cooked this?!” But these dried proteins do more than boost flavour. Crayfish, stockfish and well-dried iru deliver minerals like potassium and calcium and bioactive peptides that help relax blood vessels and support healthy blood pressure. If the smell of fresh iru puts you off, look for properly packaged, well-dried versions. You’ll get all the benefits without the overpowering aroma. Stay tuned for part two where I’ll share heart-friendly recipe tips using these ingredients.
