One of the newest additions to the Patagonia Provisions food line is a selection of canned mussels, which are packed by the tin and perfect for enjoying on summer picnics, at the park or outdoor camping adventures.
These mussel snacks, available in Lemon Herb, Smoked and Savory Sofrito varieties are sustainably sourced from a small fishery in Galicia, Spain. With the new Patagonia Provisions product, it is noted that the "mussels improve water quality and habitat diversity, while supporting the ancient, coastal Galician culture."
The mussels, packaged with olive oil and mussel broth, are called out for being a high-quality source of protein, iron and B12, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids. All of these flavored mussel snacks can be sampled in the Mussels Variety Pack, or enjoyed separately in their respective individual boxes.
