Boiled mussels are a nutritious and flavorful seafood dish commonly found in Mediterranean, European, and coastal cuisines worldwide. These shelled mollusks are rich in high-quality protein, making them an excellent choice for muscle repair and growth. They're loaded with essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and selenium, supporting heart health, brain function, and immune defense. Mussels are naturally low in fat and calories, making them a heart-healthy option for those watching their weight. However, they can be high in sodium, particularly if prepared in salty broths or sauces, so moderation is recommended. Often boiled with aromatic herbs, vegetables, or wine, mussels absorb rich flavors while maintaining their tender, briny taste. Sustainable and environmentally friendly, they’re a wholesome addition to any balanced diet.
