About Lingueirao
Lingueirão, also known as razor clam, is a shellfish found in sandy coastal waters, primarily enjoyed in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Renowned for its tender, slightly sweet meat, it's a rich source of lean protein, making it an excellent choice for muscle repair and maintenance. Packed with essential nutrients, Lingueirão provides vitamins B12 and A, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, contributing to brain function, strong bones, and energy production. Its low fat and carbohydrate content make it a heart-healthy, weight-conscious option. Razor clams are often steamed, grilled, or sautéed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, elevating their naturally mild flavor. However, due to their ability to accumulate toxins from polluted waters, sourcing them from reputable, clean regions is crucial. When prepared in moderation and properly cleaned, Lingueirão offers a nutritious and delicious addition to a balanced diet.
