Where can I buy those those small dehydrated shrimp you

>>8706176
Most Asian grocery stores sell them. They generally come in one pound bags.

>>8706176
A pet store

You can't. You need to cook some shirmp and dehydrate them yourself.

>>8706176
i see them at the asian supermarkets all the time. specifically the 99 Ranch Market for me but you might not have one of those places where you live.

>>8706183
>>8706447

this. Any asian market will have them.

You can also mail-order them, of course. Amazon has them, as do many other online grocery vendors.

Like others have already said, asian markets.
I always wondered what they were for... I just thought they were some kind of weird snack-food..
Do they re-hydrate well when you put them in soup like this?

>>8706476
Not at all. They still taste like leather. They don't feel hard or crunchy at least but that doesn't enhance the experience all that much.

>>8706176
my blood pressure went up by just looking at your picture

you can buy canned baby shrimps in the tuna isle

>>8706476
I used dried shrimp and scallops to flavor soups and broths. I've seen folk use it in making some rice dishes but even after cooking they are still very chewy and not to my liking.

>>8706476
Usually ground up to make (chili)pastes.

>>8706476

Their main purpose is to make stocks/broth.
I've seen them used in some Thai curry pastes & "chili dip" aka "chili jam" in which case they are pounded with a mortar and pestle along with the other ingredients. I've also seen them added to Kimchi. Chen Kenichi's cookbook (Sichuan Chinese) calls for them to be added to a few different stir fried dishes, including fried rice.

Anyone ever try those Mexican fried shrimp snacks? Looks tasty desu

>>8706176
Fish food. Probably comes from the same plant.

>>8706511
Depends, you can get them with the shell still on if you want.

And they do add a seafood flavor to it. Dried shrimp are pretty strong-tasting.

>>8707366
It's not because he's eating too much salt. The docs may want him to reduce his salt intake now that he's got hypertension, but salt intake doesn't create the problem.

>>8708694
I would say this is incorrect. Although hypertension is largely idiopathic and not going to be caused by JUST a high salt intake, it is certainly a contributing factor in producing chronically high blood pressure.

Increased sodium intake leads to an increase in extracellular fluid volume, which leads to an increase in cardiac output and systemic pressure. This is all via osmosis and Starling forces.

Spouting shit off when you're just a medical student makes you look shallow and pedantic.

>>8706176
I actually want to know where to get the dried vegetables to make my own cup noodles

>>8708716
Does dietary salt actually do that

>>8708716
Hey why not mention the poison that is in the wheat causing literally everyone hypertension on a daily basis?

1. Cook Shrimp
2. Dehydrate Shrimp
3. Rehydrate Shrimp
4. Eat rehydrated shrimp.
5. Dehydrate leftovers.

I came here to post this.

Is there any reason I shouldn't eat birdseed?

>>8709797

I'd be concerned that it might be contaminated with something that makes it not fit for human consumption.

>>8708942
This tbqhwy. There's always gotta be that one guy to come in and show off by repeating something he just read last week in his textbook. Saying you're a med student as if that is your cited source means jack shit on this site.

>>8709802
If it's healthy for birds (who need extra nutrition to make up for what they lack getting in nature) then I'm sure it's fine for people.

>>8709797
I used to eat the sunflower seeds out of the birdseed when I was a kid

>>8709826
The stuff for outdoor feeders doesn't need to be good for birds, just attract them. Even if it has residues of pesticides prohibited for human food, that halves their lives, no one would notice. But some stuff humans can tolerate every day, like ammonia glass cleaner, or teflon cookware, will make a bird drop dead, so idk.

>>8709826

>>healthy for birds
Why are you making this assumption? It's being sold to people who want to feed birds, not as a medically approved and tested dietary supplement.

Consider this example:
>Boss, I spilled some cleaner in the sesame seeds
Fuck you Carl, we can't sell that now.
>Want me to throw it out boss?
No, you idiot. That would be wasting money. Go sell it to the birdseed company.

...it's no different than how pet food companies buy up all the unsold rotten fish from the fish market at the end of the day (Source: Me, who has actually worked at Fulton St.)

>>8709846
Why would bird enthusiasts want to buy food that is bad for the birds though?

>>8709858
It really doesn't affect the number of birds at the feeder.

I don't feed wild animals, because I believe their lives to be net negative experiences, so increasing their food supply without any checks on reproduction only increases net suffering.

They wouldn't want to. They would be unaware.

Also don't underestimate people's stupidity and willingness to force their personal ideas where they don't belong. A great example is the idea of "vegan cat food" when cats are obligate carnivores.

Most people don't think about their own pets enough to walk to the kitchen to fill their dish water that isn't salt softened.

That stuff is made with synthetic amino acids, so it has everything they need.

More related to OP's question, can you buy those bits of styrofoam meat that they have in the beef flavors?

And some anon spreading disinfo is stupid and dangerous. I have class/labs from 8 AM to 5 PM and spend my nights studying. I am by no means a doctor as of yet, but I am generally much more informed on health issues than the average layperson. I was being nice, but thanks for outing yourselves as ignorant cunts.

>>8709146
Yes. It aint gonna kill you every once in a while, but high blood pressure spikes from consistently high sodium intake may damage sensitive vessels (like those found in the kidney) which can lead to more problems down the road. Unfortunately, the average Western diet is loaded with sodium so hypertension is a rampant problem that has very scary long term effects.

>>8709795
I knew I heard that from somewhere. Thanks for reminding me!

It's wheat, fructose and sucrose. Fructose is killing the world. We made a grave error decades ago by crucifying fat instead of carbohydrates and sugar. Now we're paying the costs because people are content with eating what are essentially handfuls of sugar as long as a label says "No Fat!"

The current understanding is that our bodies are more looking for nutritional intake as opposed to caloric intake. That's why it's so easy to turn away fruits and vegetables compared to another bag of chips. Wheat and sugar are largely poor in nutrients and thus very unlikely to cause satiety barring eating too much. It's why you can eat that bag of chips and be full, but still want more.

It's estimated that by 2020, around 80% of Americans will be overweight and almost 50% will be obese. This generation of kids will likely be the first to be outlived by their parents.

There's being informative, and then there's needlessly announcing you're a med student and flaunting what a hotshot you are in everyone's faces.

>>8710366

Why do you see making a simple statement that establishes basic credibility as "flaunting being a hotshot"?

Do you think that when someone mentions their SO that they're doing that on purpose to fuck with single people?

>>8710390
Yeah, im a faggot afterall.

Would you have preferred I said "This faggot is wrong" without giving a counterpoint and establishing a modicum of credibility? If this is how you react to anyone pursuing a goal, I recommend you sort yourself out friendo.

I know you meant bait, but your idea is not far fetched. I was fishing one time and after a ranger checked my license, he said he had just come across a group of Asians seigning minnows with a net, stir frying them and eating them whole. This was a typical midwest muddy reservoir, btw.
