HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mussels are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart and brain. They are also low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals. Blue cheese contains calcium and protein, but it is also high in calories and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation.
