Use (your) Mussels this summer - Introducing Ikana EasySteam Mussels

It is a little known fact that when the Pohutakawa blooms over the Coromandel Peninsula it not only signifies that summer has arrived, but also that mussels are fat and ready to harvest.

Ikana’s GreenshellTM Mussels are harvested directly from their Coromandel Sea Gardens and immediately packed for your convenience.

Ikana Mussels are available in two easy-to-use pack options: live and fresh in modified atmosphere packs; or in the innovative and new Ikana EasySteam Mussel packs, which can be on your plate from frozen in minutes! Whichever way, Ikana Mussels are a healthy and easy way to spice up your lunch or dinner.

Available in two delicious flavours, the Ikana EasySteam range is made with freshly prepared, chef-inspired sauces, which are free from artificial flavours and colours. They’ve even substituted the traditional use of butter for olive oil, great for that summer body.

Ikana EasySteam Mussels are lightly blanched then snap frozen to lock in the flavours and goodness. They are packed in convenient ‘easy steam’ trays that can be placed in a microwave and cooked from frozen in just five minutes.

“A great source of Omega 3, iron and protein, our Ikana Mussels are one of the healthiest, most delicious and now, thanks to the new EasySteam range, easiest and quickest gourmet meal choices available,” says Mark Ventress, from Ikana.
