About Mejillones
Mejillones, or mussels, are a popular seafood delicacy enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and European traditions. Native to coastal waters, these shellfish are celebrated for their tender meat and subtle ocean flavor. Mejillones are rich in protein, offering a lean source of this essential nutrient, while being low in calories and fat. They are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and selenium, which support energy production, immune function, and overall health. Additionally, their omega-3 fatty acids promote heart health and reduce inflammation. However, when consumed in dishes laden with butter, cream, or fried batter, their health benefits may be reduced due to added saturated fats and calories. Fresh, steamed mussels served with light, flavorful sauces provide the best nutritional balance, making them a heart-healthy, delicious choice for seafood lovers.
