About Sea urchin

Sea urchin, also known as "uni" in Japanese cuisine, is a delicacy prized for its creamy texture and briny, slightly sweet flavor. Found in oceans worldwide, it is particularly popular in sushi, seafood, and Mediterranean dishes. Nutritionally, sea urchin is low in calories and fat, while being a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and A. These nutrients support brain health, immune function, and cardiovascular health. Additionally, sea urchin contains minerals like zinc and magnesium, which contribute to overall wellbeing. However, it is high in cholesterol, so moderation is key, especially for those managing heart health. Its fresh, vibrant taste and unique nutritional profile make it a sought-after ingredient in gourmet cuisine.
