  Fun Facts about crabmeat: There are over 6,700 species of crab. The Japanese spider crab is the world’s largest crab, measuring 12 to 13 feet across. Among the world’s smallest crabs are pea crabs which grow to be .4 to .6 inches in diameter. A group of crabs is called a cast. Crab nutrition fact: Crab meat is high in vitamin B12, and 2-3 ounces of crab meat is enough to meet adult daily B12 requirements. Hermit crabs, king Crabs, and horseshoe crabs are false crabs. False crabs come from the order Anomura while other crabs are classified as Brachyura.

  7 Fact about rice: 1. The Great Wall of China is held together with sticky rice. If you've ever tried to remove caked-on rice from the bottom of a pot, you know how strong it can be. While the Great Wall was being built during the Ming dynasty in the 15th and 16th centuries, workers used a porridge made with rice along with calcium carbonate as a mortar to hold the wall's stones together. 2. Rice is good for years—unless it's brown. Uncooked white rice will stay fresh and edible for anywhere between 10 and 30 years (depending on how it is stored). But uncooked brown rice has a shelf life of just three to six months because the bran coating will oxidize. 3. Wild rice isn't rice. Wild rice is a distant relative to all of the other rices commonly eaten today, most of which are in the Oryza sativa family. Instead, wild rice is part of the Zizania genus. It's a grain harvested from marsh grasses grown in North America and China. 4. All white rice starts brown. OK, you ...
