Dried calamari, also known as dried squid, is a popular seafood snack found in various cuisines, particularly in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Made by slicing, seasoning, and air-drying squid, it offers a chewy texture and a savory, umami flavor. This snack is high in protein, providing a substantial energy boost, and contains essential nutrients like vitamin B12, copper, and selenium, which support metabolic and immune functions. However, dried calamari can be high in sodium due to added salts during processing, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring their sodium intake. Additionally, it may contain added sugars or flavor enhancers in some commercial varieties. A cultural favorite in countries like Japan, Korea, and Thailand, dried calamari is often enjoyed as a standalone treat or paired with beverages. For the healthiest option, look for minimally processed versions with no artificial additives.
