About Ika

Ika, the Japanese word for squid, is a versatile seafood enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Japanese, Mediterranean, and Korean dishes. Rich in protein and low in calories, ika is an excellent source of essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus, which support metabolism, immunity, and bone health. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, known for promoting heart and brain function. Typically served grilled, fried as calamari, or raw in sushi or sashimi, ika is prized for its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. While its natural nutritional profile is highly beneficial, preparation methods like deep frying can add unhealthy fats and increase calorie content, so opt for steamed, grilled, or lightly stir-fried versions for maximum health benefits. Its lean, nutrient-dense nature makes ika a delightful and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
