Tinned food is a quick source of vitamins and minerals as well as being an excellent option to complement dishes rich in nutrients without losing any nutritional guarantee.
One of the food myths that we should definitely forget about is the one that states that ‘only fresh is healthy’. Mercadona knows it. The supermarket chain has just added ‘Cono Sur’ brand natural white clams to its range. Conservas Dani S.L.U., based in Vilassa del Mar (Barcelona), is the producer that elaborates the canned with Atlantic molluscs collected “during the first tides of autumn”, as explained on their website. Natural packaging means that it contains only ‘clams, water and salt’, so the level of processing is as minimal as possible: no added preservatives or colourings.
But there are more reasons why eating clams in their natural state is beneficial for your health. From a mineral point of view, these molluscs are a very rich source of zinc, a fundamental nutrient of which it is recommended to ingest about 15 mg daily. An adult needs to ingest between 25 and 35 micrograms of chromium per day to ensure healthy processes such as insulin sensitivity and to support the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
