Fun Nutritional Facts

 

Squid is high in omega 3 fats, which helps lower blood triglyceride (fat in the blood) levels. This can stop the body from storing body fat. Foods high in omega 3 fats should be consumed at least three times per week (on average), but may have to be adjusted depending on the level of physical activity you do.
