Aldi adds the giant squid to its catalog and does so with a 30% discount on its normal price
In Aldi they tend to bet on seasonal products in many of their articles related to food. Especially in the fish section. And among the novelties of this week the potón stands out.
First of all, you should know that the jellyfish is known by experts as ‘Dosidicus gigas’, although perhaps more colloquial names such as giant squid or giant squid sound familiar to you. It is the largest cephalopod mollusk of its species and is found mainly in the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Peru and Chile.

The giant squid is very beneficial for health
Its fishing is usually industrial and artisanal. It is found in the depths. And it is currently considered a ‘super product’ in many countries due to the benefits it brings to the human body.
It contains taurine, an amino acid that helps regulate cholesterol and blood pressure levels, as well as helps reduce blood clots. It is also high in antioxidants and vitamin B, which slow down aging and provide high levels of energy. While its calorie content is between 65 and 75.

On the other hand, the giant squid or jellyfish is divided into two parts. The head, attached to the tentacles, and the mantle, which contains the internal organs of the animal. And it reaches sizes of two meters and weights of 45 kilos. Still, it is capable of taking great leaps out of the water.
