Albanian mussels, the queens of values!

Mussels will mark the future of the seafood industry in Albania.

The export of these products is expected to turn Butrint into the epicenter of mussel production throughout Europe.

Some experts believe that Butrint has the potential to produce over 10,000 tons of mussels per year. Albania has two main points for mussel production - one in Butrint and the other in Shengjin.

The cultivation of mussels in Shengjin is in its first steps, with a production reaching approximately 500 tons per year.

Production in the lagoon of Butrint is a tradition of many years, while the locals consider the lagoon as the ideal place for the production of mussels, not only in terms of water temperature but also at the right level of salt.

The lagoon is supplied with fresh water from the rivers that flow into it and is connected to the sea through a narrow waterway known as the Vivari Channel.

Such a structure allows the mixing of fresh and salt water, thus creating the ideal conditions for mussel cultivation.

Mussels are served everywhere on the southern coast of the country and are always accompanied by white wine. What we must highlight is that mussels offer many health benefits. They have the power to promote healthy cell function.

Mussels are rich in protein that is responsible for many of the body's cellular functions, providing structural support for healthy cell shape, communication and interaction.

Mussels are beneficial for people suffering from arthritis and asthma. They fight the inflammation that is the cause of such diseases that affect many people.

Mussels improve brain health. They are a fantastic source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the brain. They are filled with a specific fatty acid that is the main component of the brain, the retina of the eye and the skin.

They also contain vitamin B-12, which together with fatty acid protects the brain and preserves memory as we age. Mussels are also rich in other minerals that the brain needs a lot.

Mussels facilitate healthy circulation to important organs and muscles by strengthening blood vessels and improving blood flow.

Alfapress.al advises you to consume mussels to guarantee a healthy circulatory system. In an 85-gram serving, you'll find 340% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B-12, a significant amount that makes a difference in the body.

This vitamin is so necessary for the brain that its lack even in very small amounts causes weakness in concentration, memory problems, bad mood and cloudy thoughts.
