Our rope-grown mussels are not only delicious, they’re also packed full of nutrition and considered one of the most sustainable sources of seafood available. They’re so good in fact, that you really should be eating mussels every day!
Rope-grown mussels are one of the most sustainable foods in the world. As a result, it’s earned a place on the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) green list. The fact that mussels are filter feeders also means that no additional feed is required during its farming, so damage to the environment is minimal. Mussels actually enhance water quality by clarifying water and reducing concentrations of organic matter.
Mussel
Mussels are truly a superfood in more ways than one. It’s a great source of protein, contains very high amounts of Omega 3 and is packed full of good fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated). Mussels are also loaded with high levels of essential vitamins and minerals like Selenium, Manganese, Zinc, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin C and Iron, just to name a few.
All this without any preservatives or antibiotics, the only “anti” you’ll find when it comes to local mussels are antioxidants or shameless punting like it’s great for banting (almost got away with a pun and a rhyme, anyway let’s get serious).
