Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are a delicious mollusk known for its filtration capacity. Their shell, made of calcium carbonate, features a distinctive blue-black color with concentric lines. The flesh, an attractive orange color, is soft and juicy, making them an ideal ingredient for a variety of preparations. They are typically offered in 1Kg nets. These mussels are rich in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins B1 and B2, while their fat content is low, making them a healthy choice for any diet. It is recommended to store them at temperatures between 2ºC and 4ºC to maintain their freshness and quality. Mussels are perfect for enjoying raw but can also be cooked in various recipes. Ideally, they should be part of your options for a balanced and nutritious menu. This product originates from Galicia, where they attach with byssus to rocks, forming dense aggregates in the intertidal zone.
