Penn Herb Wellness Guide
Lobster
Best to Buy
Look for live and frisky lobsters (their tails should curl up or flap when picked up) that smell fresh, with no hint of ammonia.
Prep & Store
Refrigerate live lobsters wrapped in wet newspaper on a bed of ice for no more than a few hours. Cook and eat the same day you buy it. Discard any lobster that dies before you cook it.
Freshly cooked lobster has a bright red shell. Any exposed meat should be white and moist, not dry or yellow.
Nutrition Notes
Lobster is a good source of potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B12.
