One cup of Cockles is around 160 grams and contains approximately 126 calories, 21.6 grams of protein, 1.1 grams of fat, and 7.5 grams of carbohydrates.
Cockles are small, edible bivalve mollusks found in sandy coastal waters. Known for their slightly sweet and briny flavor, they are a delicacy in various cuisines, particularly in British and Mediterranean dishes. Rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, cockles offer a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids that are great for heart health. However, like many shellfish, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key. Enjoy them steamed, in salads, or as part of a traditional paella for a delightful taste of the sea!
