Introduction: Abalone is a marine mollusc long regarded as one of the finest seafood delicacies. Its tender texture and rich flavour are especially prized by Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau. In Chinese wordplay, 'bao' suggests abundance and 'yu' surplus, so abalone symbolises lasting prosperity. It is therefore a popular auspicious gift and festive banquet dish.
Benefits claimed in the source: Abalone is described as highly nutritious and its meat as rich in globulin. Because it is described as a deep-sea organism, the source claims it nourishes yin; traditional Chinese medicine regards it as nourishing without being overly 'heating.' It says eating abalone does not cause side effects such as toothache or nosebleeds and that eating more is harmless. The source further says abalone meat contains a substance called 'paolin' that can destroy metabolites needed by cancer cells, and calls abalone an anti-cancer food. It claims that abalone does not simply lower blood pressure but regulates it in both directions by 'nourishing yin, calming the liver and securing the kidneys' and by regulating adrenal secretion. It finally attributes menstrual regulation, relief of dryness and bowel support to abalone, including treatment of irregular menstruation and constipation. These are unverified source and traditional claims, not evidence that abalone treats cancer, blood-pressure disorders or any other disease; such conditions require qualified medical care.
Who eats it: The article says abalone is suitable for most people and records traditional recommendations for those experiencing frequent night-time urination, qi-deficiency asthma, unstable blood pressure or difficulty concentrating. It also mentions its use alongside herbal preparations for diabetes, but anyone managing a medical condition should seek professional advice rather than use food as treatment.
In general: Rare items are precious and highly nutritious!
