Why scallops are good for you.
One of the world’s healthiest “diets” is pescovegetarian. Seafood provides protein and Omega 3’s that vegetarians or vegans often miss. Usually, we hear about the Omega 3 benefits of salmon, sardines, and mackerel, but most shellfish have health benefits as well. Scallops also contain Omega 3s and are an excellent source of magnesium and potassium, which protect your heart and brain. They are considered to be one of the healthiest types of seafood because they contain 80% protein, are low in fat, and a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
If you can’t get fresh scallops, they are also available frozen any time of year.
