Krasnoyarsk residents were reminded of the benefits of mussels / Society news of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Territory / Newslab.Ru

Specialists from the Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor spoke about the benefits of mussels and advised what to look for when purchasing them.

Mussels contain healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are required for good brain function, as well as a large amount of iodine. Therefore, they are especially useful for people with insufficient thyroid function.

In addition, mussels are a good source of zinc, and their meat contains a lot of protein, which is easily digestible.

When choosing mussels, experts advise paying attention to the smell. It should be fresh, and the mussel shells should be intact, without chips or damage. Also, freshly frozen mussel has a light beige color, and boiled meat is pinkish, with an orange tint possible.

Darkened, brown or black mussels should absolutely not be eaten. This color indicates that the product is spoiled.
