Squid Ink
Squid Ink is the dark, flavorful secretion used in Mediterranean and Japanese cooking to add deep color and a briny, umami-rich taste to dishes like pasta, risotto and sauces. It is very low in calories and commonly used in small amounts to impart intense flavor. Nutrition-wise Squid Ink is low in fat and provides marine-derived omega-3s (300mg per 100g), along with some protein, which helps explain its value as a concentrated flavoring. From a nutrition perspective it contributes high-quality protein and beneficial marine fats, and also brings trace minerals such as selenium and copper that are typical of seafood.
