Snail Meat in Human Nutrition
Snail meat has been part of human nutrition since ancient times—used by the Greeks and Romans even before the new era. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it was consumed by European nobility and Balkan shepherds, while today it is most popular in France, Italy, and Germany. In recent years, its use has been steadily increasing in other European countries as well.
Due to its nutritional qualities, global statistics show that the production and consumption of snails in nutrition grows by 10–12% annually.
