Benefits of mussels

Mussels have so many health benefits, here are some of them:

Rich source of many minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin B, folate, iron, phosphorus, manganese, selenium and zinc – usually we have a lack of iron on a keto diet so it is a good recipe to get a more balanced nutrition.

Mussel meat is a high quality protein source – it is a great part of a heart-healthy, high-fiber diet and can offer health benefits such as aiding weight management.

Low in saturated fat but high in heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acid known as the omega-3 fatty acids – reduces risk of heart attack or sudden death from heart disease
