Steamed mussels are a savory seafood dish often associated with European cuisines, particularly French and Belgian culinary traditions. Prepared by gently steaming fresh mussels in a flavorful broth of garlic, white wine, and herbs, this dish is known for its delicate taste and tender, juicy texture. Mussels are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and C, and essential minerals like iron and selenium. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, and a strong immune system. Low in calories and fat, steamed mussels are a healthy choice for many diets. However, they may be high in sodium depending on preparation, and individuals with shellfish allergies must avoid them. Their versatile nature makes them a popular appetizer or entrée, often served with crusty bread or fries for indulgence.
