New Zealand Mussels
NEW ZEALAND GREENSHELL MUSSELS
Greenshell mussels are unique to New Zealand, they are sustainably farmed in the pristine waters of the top of New Zealand’s South Island. Suspended on ropes, the mussels feed naturally without intrusion.
Upon harvest, they lock their shells and hold approximately 1 teaspoon of seawater per mussel. Inspect, wash and shave the beard off the outside of the closed mussels. Next, they’re bagged in a USFDA approved, non-BPA plastic pouch. The pouch is then vacuum packed and pressure cooked at high temperatures in a retort (industrial pressure cooker).
For some export regions, adding fresh water to reduce the perceived saltiness of the natural delicious stock the mussels come with.
There are 17-20 mussels per pack depending upon their size. There a beautiful green shell mussel, plump and sweet. Much larger than the the black shelled mussels you usually see.
They are pre-cooked which makes them very easy to use. Just defrost, top and bake and you’ll look like a superstar in the kitchen!
It’s 1000g packs.
