About Grilled mussels

Grilled mussels are a delightful seafood dish often associated with Mediterranean cuisine but enjoyed worldwide. The dish features fresh mussels, lightly seasoned with herbs, garlic, olive oil, and sometimes a splash of white wine or citrus juice, then cooked over a grill to impart a smoky flavor. Mussels are nutrient-dense, high in protein, and an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. They are rich in essential minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, as well as B vitamins, including B12, which is crucial for energy production and red blood cell formation. Olive oil, a typical ingredient in the preparation, adds healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. However, it is important to watch salt content when seasoning and serving with buttery sauces, as these can increase sodium and saturated fat levels. Grilled mussels make for a healthy and flavorful option when consumed in moderation.
