All About Mussels
Mussels are very high in vitamin B-12, which is good for a healthy nervous system, and forming red blood cells.
They are also high in selenium, which supports immune function and the thyroid gland, and also high in manganese, which is involved in bone health and energy metabolism.
Mussels are also a good source of vitamin C, protein, iron, antioxidants, and zinc. So go ahead and enjoy these nutritional powerhouses.
But beware!Mussels actually have more carbs than you think at 6 grams net carbs per 3 ounce serving. So make these when you have been low on carbs for the day and want a special treat.
