Chopped clams are a versatile seafood ingredient commonly used in coastal cuisines, particularly Italian, American, and Asian. They are made by finely dicing fresh or canned clams, which are mollusks found in saltwater environments. Packed with protein, chopped clams are a lean source of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, supporting energy and immune health. They are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. Low in fat and calories, they fit well into most dietary plans. However, their sodium content can be high, particularly if canned or preserved, so moderation is key, especially for individuals needing to monitor salt intake. Chopped clams add a briny and slightly sweet flavor to dishes such as chowders, pasta sauces, and seafood stews, making them a flavorful and nutritious choice for various recipes.
