Baked Mussels are a flavorful seafood dish popular in various cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, Asian, and American. This dish typically features fresh mussels topped with a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, butter, olive oil, cheese, and seasonings, then baked until golden. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and zinc, mussels support brain function, heart health, and the immune system. The dish is also low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a nutritious choice for many diets. However, toppings like cheese and butter can add saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is suggested for those watching their heart health or cholesterol levels. A lighter preparation can emphasize herbs and olive oil for a heart-healthier alternative, making baked mussels a versatile dish that offers both indulgence and nutrition depending on the recipe's composition.
