Cuttlefish, a marine mollusk related to squid and octopus, is a popular seafood in Mediterranean, Asian, and coastal cuisines. Known for its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, cuttlefish is low in calories and an excellent source of protein, making it a satisfying option for those seeking lean seafood. It is rich in essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, and copper, which support energy production, immune function, and bone health. Omega-3 fatty acids in cuttlefish promote heart health and cognitive function. While it contains modest cholesterol levels, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Commonly grilled, seared, or incorporated into stews and pastas, its versatility makes it a favorite in health-conscious recipes. Cuttlefish ink is also prized for its unique flavor and nutritional benefits, adding vitamins and antioxidants to dishes.
