The Benefits of Scallops

Do you like scallops? Flo Japanese restaurant in Bellevue does! In scallops, we have a seafood that has a light, pleasing taste and appeals to even those who are not a fan of the “fishier” tasting denizens of the sea. If you’re not a big fan of fish, then, and you still want to benefit from the great health benefits offered by seafood, let us recommend the scallop as an alternative.

Like most other forms of seafood, you can expect to find low calories, low fat, and a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids. This is just where scallops start, however; not only are they a heart-healthy source of protein and vitamin B12, but they also serve to help you sleep better. This is because they contain tryptophan. This is an amino acid that the body converts into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is important to getting a good sleep cycle. Eating a few scallops in the evening can therefore help you meet the sandman head on when it’s time to settle down. So order up some scallops at Flo Japanese Restaurant and turn in for a restful night’s sleep!
