Cuttlefish, a marine mollusk related to squid and octopus, is a popular ingredient in Mediterranean, Asian, and coastal cuisines worldwide. Known for its tender texture and mildly sweet flavor, cuttlefish serves as a versatile protein source in stews, soups, grilled dishes, and even sushi. Nutritionally, it is low in calories and fat while offering a rich supply of essential nutrients, including protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus, which support energy production and immune health. Its omega-3 fatty acids contribute to heart and brain health. However, its cholesterol content should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals managing cardiovascular concerns. Cuttlefish ink, often used in gourmet dishes, adds antioxidants and a unique depth of flavor. With proper preparation, this seafood enhances both culinary creations and balanced diets.
