Mussels Bouillon with Saffron: a low fodmap, diabetic, gluten and lactose intolerant recipe
Living on an island gives access to a vast array of fresh seafood. At this time of year, mussels are in abundance. The water in the bay is so fresh and clear the tides are very low and the late afternoon is the perfect time to walk around the tidal flats collecting mussels and shellfish for the kitchen table.
The following recipe is my favourite way to eat mussels.
Mussels Bouillon with fresh garden herbs and saffron.
Mussels are high in protein and low in fat. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and 100 grams supply 13% of the recommended daily vitamin C intake and 22% of the recommended daily Zinc intake.
I took this photograph of a bed of young Australian Blue Mussels on a beautiful Bruny afternoon stroll.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
