Other body benefits: In addition to vitamin B12, mussels are also a good source of protein, potassium, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Best ways to eat them: “Steam them as an appetizer, or serve in a seafood stew,” says Sass, who is the author of Slim Down

4. Crab

Vitamin B12: 10.3 mcg in 3 ounces (171% DV)
