About Saint jacques

Saint Jacques, commonly known as scallops, are tender, sea-dwelling mollusks prized in French cuisine for their delicate, slightly sweet flavor. These shellfish are rich in lean protein, making them an excellent option for maintaining muscle health and keeping meals satisfying without excessive calories. They also provide essential nutrients, including vitamin B12, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy production, bone health, and immune function. Scallops are low in fat, with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that may reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular well-being. Originating from coastal fishing regions, Saint Jacques are often prepared by searing, grilling, or incorporating into dishes like Coquilles Saint-Jacques with creamy sauces. While healthful in moderation, care should be taken with preparation methods; heavy butter, cream, or salt can add extra calories and fat. Overall, Saint Jacques are a nutritious and versatile choice, ideal for balanced, flavorful meals.
