Scallops are enjoyed for their sweet, buttery flavor and can boast plenty of nutritional value. They are a great source of lean protein and are naturally low in fat and calories. One 3-ounce serving of steamed sea scallops offers 17 grams of protein and approximately 100 calories.  Scallops are also a rich source of B-12, which helps to maintain a healthy nervous and cardiovascular system. 

In addition to B12, scallops are a good source of magnesium and potassium, two other nutrients that provide significant benefits for the cardiovascular system. Magnesium helps out by causing blood vessels to relax, thus helping to lower blood pressure while improving blood flow. Potassium assists in maintaining normal blood pressure levels.  The high-quality protein in the scallop contains essential amino acids, organic molecules that cannot be produced by our body, as well as minerals such as copper, iron, and zinc.  Scallops also contain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are derived from the phytoplankton that are a source of food for scallops.  The exact amount of Omega 3 fatty acids can vary depending on the scallops' diet, the season, and the location of harvest.
