Gettin’ Dirty with the Squid Ink!

Squid Ink Pasta Sprinkled With Light Battered Calamari

Eating squid ink pasta may leave some stains, but it sure is deeeeeelish! So, aside from the delicious factor, recent research has discovered that Squid ink has the potential to fight cancer. I read about a research conducted by Hiroki University in Japan that squid ink can activate white blood cells to fight tumors. If you want to learn more about squid ink, just google it. ☺ Black colored foods are becoming trendier in the culinary world and more popular, so don’t be scared if your rice or noodles are black!

Some wouldn’t think that squid ink would add any flavor, but to sum up the taste of squid ink in one sentence, well, it actually adds a salty, briny ocean flavor. It’s the perfect touch for seafood lovers.

Next time you’re at a restaurant or at the grocery store and run by some squid ink or squid ink pasta, pick it up and get dirty with it!
