[Seasonal Recipe] Mussels that make the broth refreshing
Mussels, which are in season starting in October, are a type of shellfish widely known through dishes like Jjamppong and stews. They are primarily used to create savory broths and are the perfect ingredient for the season when you crave a warm bowl of soup.
It is best not to eat mussels from March to September, as toxins develop in the plankton that mussels feed on as the weather warms up. This phenomenon commonly occurs not only in mussels but also in oysters and shellfish.
Mussels are a nutrient-rich food that acts like licorice, adding umami to broths. Mussel soup is often enjoyed as a drinking snack thanks to its refreshing broth. The taurine found in mussels helps break down alcohol, aiding in liver recovery and relieving hangovers.
It is rich in iron and vitamins, making it beneficial for preventing anemia, and its Vitamin D content enhances calcium absorption, contributing to bone health. In addition, it offers various benefits such as skin care and vascular health.
