About Butter clam
Butter clams are a nutrient-rich shellfish native to the Pacific Northwest, often prized for their sweet, mild flavor and tender texture. A popular ingredient in coastal cuisine, they are commonly used in clam chowder, steamed dishes, and seafood pasta. Butter clams are an excellent source of protein, vitamins B12 and D, and essential minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which support immune health, energy production, and bone health. They are also relatively low in fat, with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that may help reduce inflammation. However, butter clams can be high in sodium, so moderation is key for those managing sodium intake. Additionally, consuming clams from certified sources is important to avoid contaminants. A sustainable seafood choice, butter clams offer both great taste and beneficial nutrients, making them a versatile and health-conscious addition to many recipes.
