[Seasonal Recipe] Light and Flavorful Shellfish, Scallops

Scallops are in season starting in November and are often eaten grilled due to their unique flavor. In addition to grilling, they are also steamed. Scallops are also added to soups and stews, such as kalguksu, to create a refreshing yet light taste.

In fact, scallops are not a regional specialty but an ingredient available anywhere in the world. Recently, thanks to advancements in aquaculture technology, farmed scallops have become abundant, allowing you to purchase high-quality scallops at affordable prices.

Scallops are rich in essential amino acids, making them beneficial for growing children. They are also abundant in nutrients that constitute bones and blood, such as calcium and iron, providing various benefits including bone health and the improvement of anemia. In particular, they contain a higher amount of iron than oysters, which are known for their nutrient richness.
