The difference between salamander and giant salamander

There are more than 400 species of salamanders in the world. Because they are about seven centimeters long and their bodies are flat, people not only breed them, but also use them as medicine. They can treat burns, skin itching, and prevent skin damage. The giant salamander is a common fish in our lives. It is a protected animal and is now being bred by people. In addition to being edible, it also has high medicinal value.

Salamander (scientific name: Salamander), also known as fire lizard

There are about 400 species in the world, belonging to 10 families under the order Caudata. Salamanders are tailed amphibians that are similar in shape to lizards but have no scales. They are also good ornamental animals, including the northern newt, the axolotl, and the great cryptobranchius (a large aquatic salamander). They mostly inhabit freshwater and swampy areas, primarily in the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. They absorb water through their skin and therefore require a humid living environment. When the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius, they will go into hibernation.

Nutritional value of giant salamander

The giant salamander is an animal with extremely high edible value. Its meat is tender and delicious. It contains high-quality protein, rich amino acids and trace elements. It has extremely high nutritional value. It is known as the "ginseng in the water" and is regarded as a rare tonic in the markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Giant salamander muscle protein is a high-quality protein with a high content of essential amino acids and a good composition ratio, which fully meets the human body's requirement model. Giant salamander muscle protein is rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 6 flavor amino acids account for 42.77% of the total amino acids, 8 essential amino acids for the human body account for 40.72% of the total amino acids, and the ratio of essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids is 68.68%, all of which are in line with the ideal model of FAO/WHO; giant salamander has a high score for essential amino acids and is in line with the human body's requirement model to a high extent. It is rich in lysine, which is easily lacking in my country's staple foods, and can be eaten in a reasonable combination with staple foods to play a protein complementary role.
