About Calamares
Calamares, a popular dish originating from Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine, consists of battered and deep-fried rings of squid. The squid is typically cleaned, sliced, and coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb mixture before being fried to golden perfection. Rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals like selenium and B12, squid offers essential nutrients for muscle health, immunity, and energy production. However, calamares is often high in saturated fats and calories due to the frying process, making it less ideal for heart health or weight-conscious diets if consumed excessively. For a healthier version, consider grilling or baking the squid instead of frying. Usually enjoyed as an appetizer or tapas dish, calamares is often paired with dipping sauces such as aioli or marinara, adding more flavor but also additional calories. Moderation and preparation method are key to enjoying this seafood delicacy while balancing nutrition.
