About Langostino

Langostinos, often referred to as squat lobsters, are a small crustacean typically sourced from cold waters like those off Chile or the North Atlantic. They have a delicate, sweet flavor resembling lobster or crab, making them a popular choice in Mediterranean, Latin American, and seafood-centric cuisines. Rich in protein, langostinos are low in fat and contain essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, magnesium, and selenium, which are beneficial for maintaining energy levels, bone health, and immune function. With fewer calories than traditional lobster, they are a lean seafood option for health-conscious diets. However, like many shellfish, langostinos can be high in cholesterol depending on the serving size, so moderation is recommended. Commonly featured in salads, pasta dishes, or as a topping for tacos, their tender texture and versatility make them a flavorful addition to meals while supporting a balanced and nutritious diet.
