Clam is the general common name of any mollusks within the class Bivalvia. More specifically, true clams are bivalves having two shells of equal size connected by two adductor muscles and having a powerful burrowing foot. They are infaunal, spending most of their lives partially buried in the sand of the ocean floor. These characteristics distinguish the true clams from other bivalves, such as oysters, mussels, and scallops.

Remains first appeared in Cambrian age rocks 510 million years ago. They presently live in both freshwater and marine habitats, and range in adult size from nearly microscopic to the giant clam, which can weigh 200 kg (440 lb). Some have life cycles of only one year, while at least one has been discovered that may be over 500 years old. They lack heads but most can react to changes in light and some, such as the scallops, have rudimentary eyes. Though a common food item, many are too small to be useful as food, and not all species are considered palatable. All clams have two calcareous shells or valves joined near a hinge structure with a flexible ligament, and all are filter feeders.

Health Nutrition

Clams are high are high in many vitamins and minerals including selenium, manganese, vitamin C, B 12, copper, phosphorus, and riboflavin. Clams have an Amino Acid Score of 106, indicating that it is a complete/high quality protein, essential for building and repairing muscles and tissue. A single protein serving (3 ounces) of fresh clams provides 2/3 of the amount of iron you need in a day, plus the vitamin C in the clams helps you better absorb the iron! Iron is an integral part of oxygen transport in red blood cells and for the processes in your cells that make energy. Fatigue and anemia result from low iron diets. High levels of B 12 are also present in clams. B12 is another vitamin that is needed for making DNA and maintaining nerve function. If you have a B12 deficiency, you can develop megaloblastic anemia which can make you feel tired and weak. Often you find Iron and B 12 deficiencies with similar side effects.
