About Squid ink
Squid ink, a dark, briny liquid extracted from cephalopods like squid or cuttlefish, is a culinary ingredient prized for its rich umami flavor and deep black color. Common in Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines, it's used to enhance dishes like pasta, risotto, and seafood sauces. Nutritionally, squid ink is low in calories but rich in antioxidants, which may help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. It contains trace minerals like iron and zinc, as well as compounds supporting antibacterial and immune-boosting properties. However, its sodium content can be relatively high, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring salt intake. Squid ink's unique color and flavor make it a favorite for chefs seeking to elevate the visual appeal and taste complexity of their dishes.
