Vongole (Small Clams)s are small edible clams often used in Mediterranean and Italian cooking (think spaghetti alle vongole) and prized for their sweet, briny flavour and firm texture. They are a lean seafood that provides 14.7g of protein per 100 g, making them a good choice when you want a low-fat, high-protein ingredient. Nutritionally, vongole are especially notable as an excellent source of key minerals and B vitamins — they supply substantial amounts of vitamin B12, iron and iodine, nutrients often sought from seafood and shellfish. They are low in fat and carbohydrates, so they fit well into low-carb or calorie-conscious meals. From a health perspective, small clams deliver high-quality protein and a favorable fat profile while supplying important micronutrients that support blood and thyroid health. Because they are a nutrient-dense shellfish, they’re a nutritious addition to soups, pasta, stews or simple preparations with garlic, lemon and herbs.
