Sea Urchin

Sea Urchin is the edible gonads of a spiny marine echinoderm, prized in Japanese, Mediterranean and coastal cuisines for its rich, briny umami and custard-like texture. It is commonly served raw as sushi or crudo, or lightly dressed to showcase its delicate sea flavour. As a seafood, Sea Urchin is a lean source of protein, providing 14g of protein per 100 g, and is notable for concentrated marine nutrients including long-chain omega‑3 fats and exceptionally high vitamin B12 levels. Its fat profile tends toward heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats rather than saturated fat. From a health perspective, Sea Urchin is nutrient-dense—especially for high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids and B12—making it a good choice for supporting brain and cardiovascular health when eaten as part of a varied diet.
