When it comes to seafood lovers, prawns are a favorite across Indian kitchens. But did you know that the black or dark vein running along the back of prawns isn't just unsightly—it can be harmful if consumed regularly? At AlekhyaaChitti Pickles, we believe in delivering hygienic, health-conscious, and flavor-packed pickles that don’t compromise on quality or safety.

What Is the Vein in Prawns?

The dark line often seen in prawns is actually the digestive tract, commonly referred to as the "vein." It may contain sand, grit, waste, and bacteria. While it's technically edible, it can lead to:

  • Digestive discomfort

  • Unpleasant texture and taste

  • Higher risk of bacterial contamination

Why Removing the Vein Matters

Eating prawns with the vein intact may pose a risk, especially for those with sensitive digestion or seafood allergies. For families, kids, and health-conscious individuals, vein-free prawns offer peace of mind and a cleaner, more refined taste.
