About Squid
Squid, commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean, Asian, and Italian cuisines, is a versatile seafood rich in nutrition. Known for its tender texture and mild flavor, squid is a source of high-quality protein, providing amino acids essential for muscle repair and overall body health. It’s low in calories and fat, making it a dietary-friendly option. Squid contains important nutrients like selenium, which supports immune function, and vitamin B12, crucial for nerve health and energy metabolism. Additionally, it offers Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. However, preparation methods can influence its healthiness—fried calamari, for example, is higher in calories and fat due to breading and oil. Opting for grilled, baked, or steamed squid is a healthier choice. While squid contains cholesterol, it is also packed with beneficial compounds, making it a valuable protein option in moderation.
