About Cuttlefish balls

Cuttlefish Balls are a popular seafood delicacy, often enjoyed in East Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes. Made primarily from minced cuttlefish, along with flour or starch binders and seasonings like salt, sugar, and white pepper, these savory balls are shaped and cooked, typically boiled, steamed, or deep-fried. They boast a springy texture and subtle, oceanic flavor. Rich in protein from the cuttlefish, these balls offer essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health. However, they can be high in sodium due to added salts and seasonings, and deep-fried versions contribute extra fats and calories, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Often served in soups, hot pots, or as snacks, Cuttlefish Balls provide a satisfying taste of seafood, adaptable across various dishes. Opt for steamed or boiled varieties for a healthier approach.
