Fresh green-lipped mussel vs. green-lipped mussel powder

Absolutely—you can swap fresh green-lipped mussels for green-lipped mussel powder if that’s what you have on hand!

  • Hi! Yes, in theory, but it will alter the nutritional content of the recipe. Fresh green-lipped mussels are a raw ingredient (protein + fat + energy), whilst powder is a supplement used in small quantities. If you swap them, you’ll lose some of the nutritional value and will need to adjust the rest of the recipe (increase the amount of protein and fat). The simplest solution is probably to alternate a bit, giving fresh mussels some days and powder on others 😊
