About Octopus
Octopus is a versatile seafood enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, particularly Mediterranean, Japanese, and Korean dishes. This mollusk is a low-calorie source of lean protein, offering essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and iron that support energy, immune health, and proper cell function. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, octopus contributes to heart health and anti-inflammatory benefits. It is cholesterol-containing but low in saturated fats, making it a balanced option when consumed in moderation. Octopus is also packed with taurine, which may aid in neurological health and cardiovascular function. Its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor make it suitable for grilling, boiling, or adding to salads and stews. While octopus provides many health benefits, preparation methods like frying can add unhealthy fats, so opt for grilling or steaming for a nutritious choice.
