Is There Any Real Prawn in Prawn Crackers? | Food Unwrapped

[@xjAlbert]

To answer the video's question, we begin on a cassava farm in Thailand - 0:38 Next, we're suddenly in the UK and told that uncooked crackers come from Indonesia and contain 21-38% prawn meat - 4:31 The filmmaker never shows us how the prawn is added. In fact, we never see a single pawn in this video. Did the producer think we wouldn't be interested in seeing how/when/where the prawn is added?

Thank you for saving me 6 minutes

[@Divisyon474]

Exactly ahaha this make no sense

[@TheZiggZagg]

Tapioca Starch, Blended Prawns, Salt and baking powder. That’s all there is to it!✌️

[@Mike--Oxmall]

The producer is very religious and deeply against Prawnography.

[@kgonzales4474]

I'm impressed he travelled all the way to Thailand just to film that short portion of the video. I would be more impressed though if he also went to Indonesia.

[@houseoutwrong2187]

They did several segments over there in the one trip.

[@chrissooknanan3951]

Good day all. Here in Guyana, South America, we eat cassava raw all the time. Not in large quantities ofcourse

[@hellenawanzala7750]

I think there are different types. Here in Uganda we eat it fresh, boiled, fried, roasted, etc - no special processing

[@Citizen-of-theworld]

In Ecuador they make one of my favourite cassava (or yuca) snacks - pan de yuca

[@leafster1337]

humans can tolerate a certain amount of toxins of various types (if slowly exposed) and even at high dosage if given enough time to acclimate by intaking smaller dosages that eventually increase to the target dose. of course there are limits and they still arent every high

[@johnprince6132]

Alyuh Guyanese really backwards Yuh know lord boi

[@Redbird1504]

Potatoes can also be toxic if eaten raw in large amounts.

[@brandonegan523]

Texture of prawn crackers are great best snack food when hangover or just wanting a snack when drunk

[@AlisonBryen]

Literally ate a basket of these badboys at the restaurant last night 😂

[@EweChewBrrr01]

So to make tapioca taste good you need to add 20% prawn meat. Will have to try that in my next pudding. D:

[@cb250nighthawk3]

Not all prawn crackers are the same. Some brands of prawn crackers only have prawn flavour, no prawn.

[@LinkTheFusky]

they do fryums in some places, its basically raw prawn crackers you can fry yourself cheaply, chinese takeaways sometimes buy them and fry them fresh

[@michellegordon456]

Tayto Corby. fantastic factory and home of fabulous crisps

[@DragonBlueSpirit]

Letting them disolve on your tongue is so weird as it sucks up your moisture haha

[@kernow24]

They say prawn meat but it's actually prawn extract from extracting from the shells and insides of heads, a usual waste product from cooked / shelled prawn manufacturing, the same way things like shrimp paste are made, not that it matters, most of a prawns flavour is in the head, not the meat.

[@Ajspecial1000]

Not true tho is it

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Cassava is more commonly known to Americans as tapioca.

[@TheLinkoln18]

We know the end product as tapioca in the UK, but it comes from Cassava…

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I’ve seen.

[@leafster1337]

here in california ive seen the starch and products usually labeled as tapioca and the ingredients of said products relating to the word tapioca whereas the whole root or some part of the root is usually sold as cassava

[@xploration1437]

So you watched the video huh?

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Yes I did. Also, Thoughty2 said that cassava is known more commonly as tapioca.

[@stevieturbo88]

I’m eating a big bag of prawn crackers

[@mrboonski1]

Same 🤛🤌🤟

[@KartKing4ever]

I'd imagine most of us are. Why else would we be here?

[@TertiaryQuota]

I ate Prawn cocktail crisps xx

[@OofusTwillip]

As soon as I saw cassavas, I knew tapioca starch was involved.

Came here looking for SHRIMP chips. Was not disappointed

[@teemomoh6967]

I fried prawn crackers today and I really wanted to know how its made, but come to think of it, Nigerians eat startch as a meal, and 90% of their food contains cassava

[@OrionBlaze]

“So can I bite it?” What kind of question is that?

[@kernow24]

Go to Thailand and don't even show how they're made, then do some advertising for a crisp manufacturer who only fries the discs and sells for a ridiculous mark up

[@Just4Kixs]

It's amusing to see how Westerners find frying the crackers from a small chip to a fluffy,crunchy one amusing.

[@johnalderman9899]

Very interesting !!!!

[@augustpu94]

can i bite it? lol 😂

[@edmundblackaddercoc8522]

Yeah but, why should we read when we can make a living flying around the world for some daft questions?!

[@Kerryboi]

We live in a world where the answers are everywhere but people dont know how to look them up. Right now eating fish crackers and the BAG clearly states there is ”Anchovy” inside. What we really did want to know is HOW the pellets are actually made.

[@mbabaziashlyn1978]

For the times I have eaten raw cassava it's disturbing to hear that it's actually poisonous

[@blessingoton4603]

It's because cassava has been modified over the years. So basically there are different types of cassava, e.g in my country Nigeria, we have stems ( cassava) that called 2years( I have not seen this one, but mama said it was grown in her village in the early days), 1year 6months, 1year, 6 months, and the newest modification 3months ( and the worst) The other cassava stems (2 yrs, 1,6 months) are called old stem in my state but are hard to find, I think some of them are extinct like the 2yrs stem. And it (2 yrs ) could stay in ground for a very long time even after maturity and could even reseed itself. It also produced cassava mushroom ( I wasn't lucky enough to see that as no one grew them any more). I don't no what type of cassava they be planting but I no most of this is produced in factory so u shouldn't expect less. They enhanced production = Profit. Factors like variety of cassava and the fertilizer and any other enhancers ( pesticide, growth hormones etc) will affect the output aka quality.

[@WithGoodIntention]

Same and I’m still alive 😂

It's fairly easy to make prawn crackers at home, for a LOT cheaper than store-bought and as high a pencentage of prawns as you like.

[@ginawiggles918]

They pretend like they fly out each time but obviously, it's more organized than that and they go to several places for each season, and reuse locations/travels.

No, just as there is no oyster in oyster crackers.
