Sophisticated seafood
Most shellfish, including mussels, are high-protein, low-fat foods. Mussels, however, offer extra health benefits due to their high selenium content. The mineral helps your body regulate healthy thyroid and muscle function. Just 150g of mussels contains more than 100 per cent of your RDA.
