Nutritional benefits

Cuttlefish are widely known for its high amount of lean protein. Each 100g serving of cuttlefish provides 16g of protein. Being low in fat, this makes cuttlefish a great choice of lean protein compared to other animal sources such as chicken or beef. Proteins play an important part in the diet, providing the building blocks to build and repair bodily tissues.

Cuttlefish are also significantly high in Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and B12 along with other B vitamins also known as B-complex. They act as a ‘jump starter’ that helps metabolize/convert foods (carbohydrates, protein and fats) to produce energy in the body. They also play an important role in the nervous system, maintaining the structure that protects the nerve fibers and promote normal growth. 

Apart from these, cuttlefish can be a tremendous source of Selenium – a type of Antioxidant. Selenium is one of the potent antioxidants that fight against the unstable free radicals causing damage to cells. Its ‘rust proofing’ property neutralizes the free radicals that cause damage to the membrane and DNA of healthy cells associated to risks of cancer, heart disease, inflammatory disease and premature ageing.

Iron plays an important role in carrying oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body vital to sustaining life’s processes. The type of iron present in cuttlefish, known as heme iron is more easily absorbed than that of non-heme iron found in plant-derived foods.
