Why Are Scallops Important?
Like other seafood options, scallops have an amazing nutritional content.
Scallops are an excellent source of several trace minerals, including selenium, zinc, and copper. These minerals are important to your health, yet some people don’t get enough of them. If they did, there would be less health issues!
An adequate selenium intake promotes a healthy immune system and proper thyroid function. Zinc is necessary for brain function and healthy growth, and copper may protect against heart disease (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
In addition to these important trace minerals, scallops provide high quality protein and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. More than that, scallops are a great source of protein and a way you can diversify your diet.
Why Use an Air Fryer?
Do air fryers destroy nutrients? Yes, but at a much lower rate than many other methods of cooking, making it a healthier alternative. No matter how you decide to cook your food, you will see a loss of nutrition. The rate of nutrient depletion is increased in moist environments, which speaks in favor of the air fryer as it circulates dry heat, not moist.
