Octopus Tentacles, Raw

EverydayRaw

Raw octopus tentacles are the uncooked appendages of octopus, a protein-rich seafood prized in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. These muscular tentacles have a firm, dense texture and characteristic purple-grey color with distinctive suction cups along their length. Fresh raw octopus is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin B12, and minerals like iron and selenium, though it requires thorough cooking before consumption to ensure food safety.
