This big sea snail is located on rocks or among seaweeds throughout the middle and lower parts of the shoreline. The edible winkle has an oval, spiral shell, typically of a brownish-grey colour. It is composed of circular ridges, darkened lines, and a pointed tip.
Winkles have a sea-like flavour and are fairly meaty. They often are boiled and sold on the seafront as a snack. They are consumed with vinegar with white pepper by using a pin to take them out of their shells. Or you can mix it with garlic butter, serving it with nice crusty bread.
Winkles are akin to whelks, also identified as periwinkles. They are present in the intertidal region of England and Ireland and other parts of Europe. They are handled in the same manner as whelks in terms of collection, storage and cooking method. They are checked and thoroughly inspected until they are in our manufacturing facility. The cleaned and cooked winkles are packed in polythene bags before the freezing process, or that they are frozen unwrapped, then glazed and packed thereafter.
Most winkles are harvested or collected by hand, a targeted collecting strategy that creates less damage to their habitat. Minimum winkle sizes may vary between counties, but choosing bigger winkles, measuring more than 2cm, enables them to breed. Choose winkles gathered in areas that are well maintained by hand-gathering techniques.
This seaside classic is a perfect source for vitamin B12, iron, copper, iodine and magnesium. They are also a great source of protein and potassium, vitamin E, selenium and phosphorous.
Winkle has known antibiotic, analgesic, laxative and hypotensive characteristics. They have tannins that bind fluids so that inflammation can be alleviated. It’s low in saturated fat.
