DESCRIPTION

The mussel, (Mytilus spp) It is an abundant and nutritious mollusk with an elongated shell. Blue mussels regularly form striations that run around their shells.

Depending on the species and area, colors can vary from light brown to dark blue or black. The colors of the flesh also vary from creamy to brown and orange. The soft parts enclosed by the shell are all edible.

The mussels are succulent and tender. With a somewhat firmer texture than a clam, they have a distinctive rich and sweet flavor.

The mussels are:

• High in protein and low in fat.
• They offer high levels of iron.
• A great source of vitamins A and B12 and Omega-3 fatty acids.

Vima mussels are from Chile and are pre-cooked and ready to eat once thawed. Additionally, Vima also offers mussels from other origins such as Spain or Asia. They are available both whole, on the half shell or just the meat.

Mussels are one of the most complete foods to include in your diet. Prepared marinara, in a Thai curry or simply steamed, you can be sure that they are always delicious and an excellent and healthy option.
