Description
PERIWINKLE is a nutritious and delicious seafood delicacy, popularly consumed in West Africa, Asia, and other coastal regions. These small, spiral-shelled marine mollusks are prized for their tender, slightly chewy meat and rich, briny flavor. Periwinkles can be enjoyed fresh, boiled, grilled, or incorporated into soups, stews, and sauces for an added depth of umami taste.
High in protein, iron, and essential minerals, periwinkles are a healthy addition to any diet. They are sustainably harvested and carefully processed to ensure freshness, quality, and food safety. Whether you’re preparing a traditional Nigerian Pepper Soup, Ghanaian Light Soup, or a spicy stir-fry, periwinkles bring a unique oceanic flavor that enhances any dish.
Available in fresh (live or pre-cooked), frozen, or dried forms, periwinkles are a versatile ingredient for home cooks, restaurants, and seafood lovers.
