About Eels
Eels are elongated, snake-like fish popular in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Japanese, Korean, and European dishes. They are rich in protein, containing essential amino acids that promote muscle repair and growth. Eels are also an excellent source of vitamins A, D, and B12, which support vision, bone health, and energy production. They contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, known for reducing inflammation and improving heart health. However, eels can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key, especially for individuals with heart-related concerns. Their soft, delicate texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor make them a staple in dishes like unagi kabayaki, jellied eel, and sushi. Nutritional benefits paired with their unique taste have made eels a cherished ingredient in global gastronomy, offering a blend of flavor and health for balanced diets.
