Introduction
Mussels especially have always been a popular seafood item, but most people only know black mussels. What? There’s more than one type of mussel?! Lucky for you, yes! And Green Mussels are equally common.
Green Mussels known as the Asian Green Mussel is an economically important mussel that is seasonally available in Pakistan.
The global interest in the mussel’s potential health benefits began in the early 1970s and stemmed from the observation that people consuming mussels had a lower incidence of arthritis than other people.
It was later determined that the mussels were a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
In addition to these anti-inflammatory nutrients, the mussels are a good source of zinc and an excellent source of iron, selenium, and several B-vitamins
Flavour Profile
Green Mussels are less intense in ocean flavor than their black counterparts and come with distinctive umami (savory) aftertaste that’s slightly similar to mushrooms.
