Mussels come from sustainable open-sea farming that needs very few resources and no feed. They pack not only protein but also plenty of micronutrients, like vitamin B12, iron and omega-3, so just a few grams deliver flavour and essential nutrients with a low impact.

Frequently asked questions
ARE THEY A MAGIC INGREDIENT?
No, but pretty close.
ARE THEY COMPLETE PROTEINS?
Yes!
Mussels contain all 9 essential amino acids and have a good protein content (around 15% of the product), which supports muscle protein synthesis. They also provide significant micronutrients such as vitamin B12 (very high levels), omega-3 and iron, making them a nutrient-dense protein source.
ARE THEY SAFE?
Yes, absolutely!
Mussels are only harvested in authorised areas: the competent authorities continuously monitor water quality and only give the green light for harvesting when all parameters are within limits. In Galicia, farms follow very strict rules for farming and purification, so the mussels are constantly tested before harvest. After harvesting, the mussels are purified, steamed and packed following quality-control procedures.

ARE THEY SUITABLE FOR A VEGGIE DIET?
Not exactly, but they can be a great choice for anyone cutting down on meat.
By official definitions, mussels are animals, so they're not part of a vegan diet. That said, many people who follow a flexitarian diet or eat less meat for environmental or ethical reasons happily include them. Unlike almost all plant proteins, they contain all the essential amino acids in really impressive amounts.
Like all bivalves, mussels don't have a complex central nervous system like vertebrates, which is why they are not believed to be able to feel pain.
ARE THEY SUSTAINABLE?
Yes!
Mussels need very few external inputs to grow (no feed, little direct energy and no farmland), while providing protein and useful micronutrients (B12, iron, omega-3). This translates into an extremely low greenhouse gas footprint per kg of protein. They also provide local ecosystem services, for example boosting local biodiversity where they're farmed.
