Baby calamari, also known as juvenile squid, is a delicate seafood option popular in Mediterranean, Asian, and Italian cuisines. These small, tender squid are typically baked, grilled, sautéed, or fried, offering versatility in dishes ranging from pastas to salads. Baby calamari is rich in protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health and repair. It is also a good source of key nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and selenium, which benefit energy production and the immune system. However, preparation significantly impacts its nutritional profile; while grilled or baked options are low in fat and calories, fried calamari can be higher in saturated fats and carbohydrates due to oils and breading. Low in mercury, baby calamari is a safer choice among seafood options. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor pairs well with herbs, citrus, or spice, making it a versatile and nutritious addition to any meal.
