Our green-lipped mussels come from the clear waters of New Zealand and they really are something special! They take their name from the emerald green colour that decorates the edge of their shells, which really is quite beautiful. In terms of meat, green-lipped mussels are one of the largest species of mussels, so a few will go a long way! As well as their flavour and size, many people choose green-lipped mussels because of their numerous health benefits, which include anti-inflammatory properties and the relief of symptoms associated with chronic arthritis. 1kg box of mussels.
