Dried mussel (*Mytilus coruscus*, also known as thick-shelled mussel) is a shellfish with exceptionally high nutritional value. Its flesh is tender and flavorful, rich in high-quality protein with a well-balanced amino acid composition, making it easy to digest and absorb. It also contains abundant unsaturated fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which are effective in lowering blood lipids and supporting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition, it is rich in various vitamins such as vitamin B12, vitamin A, and vitamin E, as well as minerals including iron, zinc, calcium, and selenium, which help promote blood formation and enhance immunity. In traditional Chinese medicine, dried mussel is considered to have the effects of nourishing yin, tonifying the kidneys, and enriching the blood, making it highly valued as a tonic food. Combining both delicious flavor and health benefits, it is widely used in everything from daily meals to medicinal cuisine.
