Better Flavor Absorption:The deep cuts allow marinades, spices, or sauces to penetrate more deeply into the flesh. Aesthetic Appeal:The unique shape it forms when cooked makes it ideal for fancy plating, stir-fries, or grilled seafood dishes. Quick Cooking:Because of the increased surface area, pineapple-cut squid cooks faster and more evenly — helping avoid the rubbery texture from overcooking. Nutritional Retention:Quick cooking helps retain more of the squid’s natural nutrients compared to longer cooking methods. �� Vitamin Content in Squid (per 100g cooked) Vitamin B12: Squid is a very good source — essential for nerve health, red blood cells, and DNA synthesis.
