About Polvo
Polvo, the Portuguese term for octopus, is a versatile seafood widely used in Mediterranean and coastal cuisines. Known for its tender texture and mild flavor, it is a common ingredient in dishes like grilled octopus or octopus salad. Polvo is a low-calorie, high-protein food rich in essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and brain function. It also contains copper and zinc, supporting immune health. Despite its nutritional benefits, consumption should be mindful due to its cholesterol content, which may not be ideal for individuals with specific dietary restrictions. Typically prepared through boiling, grilling, or slow-cooking methods, polvo is celebrated for its ability to absorb bold flavors and spices. For a wholesome meal, pair it with fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains to balance its protein-packed profile.
