About Snails
Snails, often featured in French cuisine as escargot, are a delicacy celebrated for their unique texture and mild flavor. Rich in protein and low in fat, they offer a nutritious option for those seeking lean sources of animal protein. Snails are a good source of essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and selenium, and they provide beneficial amino acids that support muscle development and repair. Their nutritional profile also includes small amounts of vitamins E and B12, which contribute to overall cell health and energy production. Typically cooked with garlic, butter, and fresh herbs, snails can be a flavorful addition to various dishes. However, the rich sauces commonly paired with them may add significant calories and fats, so they’re best enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet. Snails are a testament to how simple, often overlooked foods can offer an unexpectedly robust range of nutrients.
