Snails are one of the common animals that can be found in our environment. They are very slow to move around the garden, where we use to keep them for commercial purposes as well as for private use. Many young sisters and brothers find it easy to locate snails, especially during the rainy season, because they do this in order to cook them in different dishes. Everyone knows snails; even children can point them out whenever they see them moving around.

They live in both water and land, but a loss of water makes it very difficult for snails to breathe; that's why they prefer cold areas to survive. Snails are one of the beautiful creatures that are very useful to us due to the nutritional value they contain.

The shell of the snails protects them from danger, because without a shell, their lives would be in jeopardy due to their soft skin. Snails are very useful for human consumption because of the vitamin A they possess, which helps us boost our immune system as well as improve our eyes.

Snails contain low-fat protein, which is the biggest advantage of consuming snails; that’s why they are recommended for those who have suffered a stroke. Eating snails helps to treat heart problems that affect individuals' ability to stay fit all the time.

We love to eat snails in Africa, especially in Nigeria, because they are a good source of iron, which is perfect for producing red blood cells. In some cultures, it is considered taboo to have anything related to snails.

Calcium contained in snails prevents kidney diseases as well as helps prevent nerve discomfort in the body. Snails are good for us to rear in our gardens because many of us who venture into this business have made a lot of money to support our families.
