About Chilli mussel

Chilli Mussels are a flavorful seafood dish originating from Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines, often celebrated for their bold, aromatic spices. Typically, fresh mussels are cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce infused with garlic, chili, onion, and olive oil, delivering a balance of heat and depth of flavor. This dish is notable for its nutritional benefits—mussels are a lean source of protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and essential minerals such as iron and zinc, which support heart health, brain function, and immunity. The inclusion of chili provides capsaicin, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, depending on preparation, it can be higher in sodium or fat if additional salt or heavy oils are used. Served with crusty bread or pasta, Chilli Mussels are a delicious and health-conscious choice when prepared with minimal added fats or sugars.
