Nutritional Value of Ingredients in Shrimp Bisque Pasta

Sea Prawns: A Nutritional Powerhouse

Sea prawns are a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, phosphorus, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese. These nutrients play crucial roles in supporting thyroid function, maintaining strong bones and teeth, and improving heart and brain health.

Consuming prawns can aid in weight loss due to their low carbohydrate and calorie content while providing antioxidants like astaxanthin, which protect the body from free radical damage and slow the aging process. Additionally, prawns contain iodine and selenium, which help reduce inflammation, boost heart health, and prevent certain types of cancer.

Green Mussels: A Nutritious and Health-Boosting Delicacy

Green mussels are not only a delicious seafood option but also a valuable source of nutrition with numerous health benefits. They contain natural minerals and complex polysaccharides such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfates, which are key components of cartilage and joint fluid. Green mussels are also rich in omega-3, omega-6, omega-9 fatty acids, glucosamine, vitamins, and minerals, providing strong antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory support.

Green mussels are particularly beneficial for joint health due to their ability to reduce pain and inflammation, restore cartilage, and supply essential nutrients like chondroitin and glucosamine. They help prevent osteoporosis and improve blood circulation thanks to their omega-3 content. Additionally, green mussels support brain function, enhance fertility, boost the immune system, and improve mood. They also promote healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Linguine Pasta: A Classic Italian Delight

Linguine pasta, with its flat rather than round shape, resembles long spaghetti but offers a unique texture that sets it apart. Originating from Genoa in the Liguria region of Italy, this pasta is beloved for its distinctive consistency and is commonly paired with seafood such as clams, fish, or shrimp. It is typically enjoyed with fresh basil sauce, pine nuts, Pecorino cheese, garlic, and high-quality olive oil.

Made from 100% durum wheat semolina, Linguine pasta provides significant nutritional benefits. A 500g serving contains 355 kcal of energy, with low levels of carbohydrates, protein, and fat, making it an ideal choice for sustaining energy throughout the day.
