Fresh Clams (Almejas)
Fresh Clams (Almejas)s are bivalve mollusks used in many coastal cuisines worldwide, commonly steamed, in chowders, or added to pasta and paella. They are prized for their briny, slightly sweet flavor and quick cooking time. Nutritionally, Fresh Clams (Almejas)s are a lean seafood source with a high proportion of complete protein and very little fat; they also stand out for their exceptional vitamin B12 content (98ug per 100g), making them useful for supporting nerve function and red blood cell formation. In addition to vitamin B12, clams provide notable amounts of iron and selenium and deliver a high-quality amino acid profile with low saturated fat, so they can be a nutrient-dense choice for people wanting mineral-rich, protein-forward seafood.
