Yep, yep! That stuff is high in cellulose and might aid in molts. The crabs love eating it. :)

Yes, the brown "husk" is perfect for crabs. It does contain cellulose and aids in molts, as mentioned above. It is a definite good food source for the crabs. I even save some of the husk and put it in a little baby food jar and store it in my drawer full of hermit crab foods (YES, I have on eof those! Well... actually two. :oops: ).
