About Clams
Clams are nutrient-packed shellfish commonly enjoyed in various cuisines, including Mediterranean, Asian, and American dishes. Rich in lean protein, clams are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, iron, selenium, and zinc. They are particularly valued for their role in supporting energy production, immune function, and maintaining healthy blood cells. Clams are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to heart health and brain function. Low in calories and fat, they provide a healthy alternative for those looking for a light yet nutrient-dense food. However, they can be high in sodium, depending on preparation methods, and should be consumed in moderation by individuals with salt-sensitive conditions. Whether steamed, grilled, or incorporated into chowders and pastas, clams offer a delicious and healthful addition to any diet.
