Cuttlefish balls are a popular seafood delicacy, commonly found in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese and Taiwanese dishes. Made primarily from minced or finely ground cuttlefish, they are mixed with seasonings such as salt, sugar, and sometimes starch or egg to create their firm and bouncy texture. These balls are often boiled, steamed, or deep-fried and served in soups, hotpots, or as snacks. Rich in protein from the cuttlefish, they can be a nutritious addition to meals when prepared healthfully. However, commercial varieties may include additives like flavor enhancers and preservatives, making homemade versions a healthier alternative. While low in carbohydrates, the deep-fried versions tend to be higher in fats and calories. Moderation is key when consuming cuttlefish balls, especially if you're watching sodium or fat intake, as processed options can contain elevated levels of both.
