About Calamar
Calamari, derived from squid, is a popular seafood dish found across various cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and Asian. Known for its mild flavor and tender texture, calamari is typically served grilled, fried, or sautéed. It is a rich source of protein, low in fat, and contains essential nutrients like vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy production, bone health, and immune function. However, preparation methods influence its health benefits; breaded and deep-fried calamari can be high in unhealthy fats and calories. Grilled or steamed calamari is the healthier choice, retaining its nutritional value without added fats. Squid also contains omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart and brain health. Whether served as an appetizer, in pasta, or as part of seafood platters, calamari has become a versatile and cherished culinary staple with both indulgent and nutritious potential.
