Clam Juice

Clam Juice is a clear, briny liquid made from cooking clams and is commonly used as a cooking liquid in seafood soups, chowders and sauces or as the base for clam cocktails. It is prized for its oceanic flavor and ability to deepen seafood dishes without adding heavy fats. Nutritionally, Clam Juice is very low in calories but provides a small amount of protein — about 2.7g per 100g — and is notable as a source of iodine, vitamin B12 and selenium, nutrients commonly associated with shellfish. Because it concentrates minerals from shellfish, it can be a convenient way to boost micronutrient intake while keeping calories low; just be mindful that commercial bottled versions are often salty, so choose lower-sodium options when possible.
