Snails:Are there health benefits?

Hello my fellow steem members.
I am here to share the nutritional and health benefits of snails.
You may think of snails only as small mollusks that wreak havoc in your garden or crawl around on the sidewalk after rain. But in many parts of the world, including France, Germany, and Portugal, snails are actually a delicacy. They can be enjoyed cooked into a buttery hors d'oeuvre called escargot or fried in an Indian dish called sate kakul.

Eating a snail might sound unpleasant to you, but if you can get past any mental blocks you have about eating them, their taste is uniquely supple. They have a meaty texture but are moist inside and take on the flavor of whatever sauce they’re cooked in. With escargot, they tend to be cooked in a buttery garlic sauce, making them savory and delectable.
However, you can’t buy them in every grocery store.

But behind that garlicky goodness, is there any nutritional substance? Let’s take a look at the potential health benefits and risk factors to eating snails so that you can make an informed decision about whether to add this food to your diet.
