Scallops are not only delicious and low in calories, but they’re also packed with protein and taurine, a nutrient known to support liver function and overall vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), scallops are seen as a neutral-natured food that gently supports the body without being too warming or cooling — making them suitable for many constitutions.

Scallops are particularly helpful when you’re feeling run down or recovering from exhaustion. They help replenish yin, restore energy, and support the spleen and stomach, which are key organs in TCM for transforming food into energy (Qi). This makes scallops ideal for those experiencing fatigue, poor appetite, or digestive weakness.

Thanks to their natural sweet and salty flavor, scallops also help promote urination, regulate fluid balance, and gently clear internal heat. And of course, their rich umami taste makes them a favorite in nourishing soups and stews — especially in traditional wellness cooking.

Incorporating scallops into your meals is a simple way to enjoy both their comforting flavor and their deep nourishing properties. Whether in a light soup or a hearty main dish, they support both body and spirit — one delicious bite at a time.
