Nero di Seppia can come from almost any cephalopod and some sources are squid, cuttlefish, octopus
The ink from Cuttlefish is used as a food coloring and flavoring, providing a very dark black color and a slightly salty tasting flavor to foods such as pasta or risotto
Some popular dishes include squid in squid ink, spaghetti in squid ink, squid ink risotto, Squid Ink Paella
Squid ink is very low in calories and is used more as a condiment, adding just a teaspoon or two to most dishes
