About Clams and mussels

Clams and mussels are nutrient-rich shellfish commonly featured in cuisines worldwide, particularly Mediterranean, Asian, and coastal American dishes. These bivalves are prized for their tender texture and briny flavor. Packed with high-quality protein, they are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals, including B12, selenium, and iron, essential for energy production and immune support. Clams also contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. Mussels stand out with their vitamin C and manganese content, supporting skin health and bone strength. Both are low in fat and calories, making them a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, they can be high in sodium, so moderation is advised for individuals watching their salt intake. Sustainability is another plus, as clams and mussels are environmentally friendly seafood choices due to their minimal impact on marine ecosystems.
