Intersting factoid.

Did you know that crab shells (or most crutaceans) being chitlin, a
naturally occurring long chain polymer, are used to keep fruits and
vegetable fresher?

Or that this same material is also ued to keep meats fresher?

By golly, I learn something new every day. No, I didn't know that.

Damned spell checker - chitin, not chitlin. ~~ mutter ~~

It's a pretty cool deal actually. I'm not exactly sure of the process,
but being a long chain polymer it's also used in biodegradable
surgical thread.

Pretty cool.
