About Mussels

Mussels are nutrient-rich shellfish commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisines. Packed with high-quality protein, they are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Mussels are also rich in essential vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, iron, manganese, and selenium, which contribute to energy production, immune function, and antioxidant protection. Low in fat and calories, they make a heart-healthy addition to a balanced diet. Often steamed, boiled, or used in broths and pastas, mussels provide a versatile and flavorful option for seafood lovers. However, they may contain sodium, so moderation is important for individuals monitoring their intake. Additionally, ensure mussels are sourced sustainably and cooked properly to avoid foodborne illnesses. Their combination of taste and nutritional benefits make them a prized ingredient around the globe.
