About Scallops
Scallops are tender, edible bivalve mollusks prized in cuisines worldwide, known for their mild sweetness and delicate texture. Typically harvested from oceans, they are featured prominently in seafood dishes across Mediterranean, Asian, and Western cuisines. Scallops are a nutrient-rich protein source with low fat and calorie content, making them a heart-healthy choice. They're packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including B12, magnesium, and zinc, which support energy production, immune health, and nerve function. Scallops are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and cardiovascular benefits. However, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring their intake. Opting for cooking methods like grilling, broiling, or steaming enhances their health profile, avoiding heavy creams and frying. Fresh scallops offer both flavor and nutritional benefits, making them a versatile ingredient for a balanced diet.
