About Sea scallop
Sea scallops are prized for their tender texture and mildly sweet flavor, making them a versatile choice in global cuisines, especially French, Japanese, and coastal American dishes. These mollusks are a rich source of protein, providing essential amino acids to support muscle development and repair. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, they also deliver vital nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, both of which are important for immune health and energy production. Their omega-3 fatty acids contribute to heart and brain health, while their minimal mercury content makes them a safe seafood option. However, scallops can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for those monitoring their intake. Typically pan-seared, grilled, or baked, they adapt well to both light and indulgent preparations, offering a nutritious and flavorful addition to many recipes.
