About Black mussels

Black mussels are a popular seafood delicacy treasured for their tender texture and savory flavor. Native to both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, these shellfish are featured prominently in Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisines, often steamed, grilled, or simmered in fragrant broths. Packed with nutrients, black mussels are an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and vitamin B12, essential for energy production and heart health. They're also low in calories and fat, making them a healthy choice for balanced diets. Additionally, mussels provide selenium and zinc to support your immune system and overall well-being. However, they can be high in sodium, depending on preparation, so moderation is key. Always ensure mussels are fresh and cooked thoroughly to minimize the risk of foodborne contaminants. Nutritious and versatile, black mussels are a tasty way to enhance your meals while supporting a nutrient-rich lifestyle.
