"Mussels are low in fat and high in protein, there rich in vitamin B 12 and omega-3 fatty acids, there also cheap eats! There also quick to make, they pop open within minutes and pair well with all kinds of flavors. ** To clean mussels, simply run them under cold water, scrubbing gently with a vegetable brush. Discard any with broken shells and any with shells that remain open after being lightly tapped. As you go, pull off and discard the "heard" (the weedy piece that sometimes remains attached to the shell). From The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook."
