About Escargot
Escargot, a French delicacy, refers to land snails that are typically cooked in garlic butter, parsley, and white wine. Originating from French cuisine, escargot has become a symbol of gourmet dining worldwide. Rich in protein, low in fat, and packed with essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and vitamin B12, escargot offers surprising health benefits despite its indulgent preparation. The garlic butter often used enhances its flavor but adds significant calories and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Escargot is also a good source of selenium, which supports immune health and metabolism. While its texture may be an acquired taste, its nutritional profile and place in culinary tradition make it a unique and worthwhile dish to explore.
