About snail meat
Ya the romans ate snails and they also cultivated them in special gardens. Snail meat is very interesting as it is low fat and it can be part of a healthy diet. It also provides very few calories, only 70 in every 100 grams. It is especially rich in magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium, compared to other meats. Contributes protein of high biological value, in addition.
Although there are many varieties, the most commercialized is the Bové (Helix Aspersa). Currently, the vast majority come from farms, where snails live in an environment created as if it were natural, reproducing and feeding on feed. The type of food that has been provided is very important, since the flavor will be very noticeable in the final dish.
Therefore, there are many farms that are beginning to work to produce snails with different diets to obtain and add different flavors later. To this day, already their eggs are marketed like a delicacy of the gastronomy and that in the future we will see in the new creations of the best chefs.
