About Razorclam
Razorclams are surf-dwelling mollusks prized for their delicate flavor and tender texture, often found in coastal cuisines worldwide. They are rich in protein, providing essential building blocks for muscles and tissues, while being low in fat, making them a lean shellfish option. Razorclams are an excellent source of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy metabolism and nerve health. They also contain vital minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which play key roles in immunity and cellular function. Omega-3 fatty acids, though present in smaller amounts compared to fish, contribute to heart health. Razorclams are popular in dishes like clam chowders, stir-fries, and seafood pastas, with origins often linked to Pacific Northwest and East Asian cuisines. However, individuals should enjoy them in moderation due to their potential for carrying environmental toxins if harvested from polluted waters. Always source razorclams responsibly for optimal health benefits.
