About Baby squid

Baby squid, a popular delicacy in Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines, offers both flavor and nutrition in its tender, bite-sized form. Packed with protein, baby squid is a lean source of essential amino acids that support muscle health. It’s an excellent provider of vitamins B12 and B6, which are vital for energy production and nerve function. Rich in selenium and phosphorus, it contributes to bone health and antioxidant protection. Baby squid is low in calories and fat, making it a smart option for balanced diets. However, it does contain cholesterol, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health. Often enjoyed grilled, fried, or stewed, baby squid blends beautifully with bold seasonings and fresh ingredients, offering a versatile and nutritious addition to meals around the world.
