Calamari rings are a popular seafood dish typically made from squid, which is sliced into rings, breaded or battered, and then fried to golden perfection. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, calamari is a staple in Italian, Greek, and Spanish dining, and has gained widespread popularity across the globe. Squid is naturally low in calories and rich in protein, vitamins, such as B12, and minerals like selenium and phosphorus, which support metabolism and immune health. However, the preparation method significantly influences its nutritional value. Deep frying adds saturated fats and calories, which can outweigh its health benefits if consumed in excess. For a healthier alternative, grilled or baked calamari provides the same savory flavor with less fat. Often served with marinades or dipping sauces, calamari rings are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet within moderate portions.
