About Boiled clam

Boiled clams are a popular seafood delicacy enjoyed in coastal cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and New England traditions. These shellfish are loaded with essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support energy production, brain health, and cardiovascular well-being. They are naturally low in fat and calories, making them an excellent choice for those seeking nutrient-dense, heart-healthy options. Additionally, clams provide a good source of zinc and selenium, both of which are vital for immune function and cellular repair. However, they can be high in sodium, especially if cooked with salt or consumed with salty sauces. People with shellfish allergies or sensitivity to dietary cholesterol should consume clams cautiously. Overall, boiled clams offer a nutritious and flavor-packed addition to various dishes, including soups, pasta, or paired simply with herbs and lemon for a light, wholesome meal.
