Squid Ink Paella is a striking variation of the traditional Spanish paella, originating from coastal regions where fresh seafood is abundant. This dish features rice infused with squid ink, giving it a black hue and a unique, briny flavor. Common ingredients include calamari, shrimp, mussels, garlic, onions, tomatoes, and olive oil, all cooked together with saffron or smoked paprika for depth. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of lean protein from the seafood and essential minerals like iodine, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while the inclusion of fresh vegetables contributes fiber and vitamins. However, squid ink paella can be high in sodium depending on preparation. It is a delicious, nutrient-rich choice, especially when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
