Green mussels are large, vibrantly colored bivalve mollusks primarily known for their mild, savory flavor and impressive nutritional profile. There are two main species commonly referred to by this name:
New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus): Indigenous to New Zealand and highly prized in fine dining, these mussels are distinguished by a brown shell with a bright green lip. They can grow up to 24 cm in length.
Asian Green Mussel (Perna viridis): Native to the Asia-Pacific region, these have a smooth, dark green shell that becomes brownish toward the attachment point. They are widely harvested for food but can be an invasive "biofouler" in other regions
Key Characteristics
Appearance: Mature males typically have creamy-white flesh, while females have distinctive apricot-orange flesh.
Flavor & Texture: They offer a sweeter, milder flavor compared to the more intense, briny taste of black mussels. Their texture is firmer and meatier.
Health Benefits: Often hailed as a "superfood," they are exceptionally high in omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and vitamin B12. Green-lipped mussel extract is commonly used in supplements to treat arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties
Popular Culinary Uses
Green mussels are versatile and hold up well to various cooking methods. Common preparations include:
Steaming: Often cooked in white wine, garlic, and herbs like parsley or chives.
Baking/Broiling: Frequently served on the half-shell with garlic butter or panko breadcrumb toppings.
Curries & Soups: Their meaty texture makes them a favorite in spicy seafood curries and chowders.
