About Anchoas

Anchoas, or anchovies, are small, flavorful fish commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine. Native to the waters of the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Pacific, they are often salt-cured to enhance their bold, umami taste. Anchovies are a nutrient-dense food, rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, and overall vitality. They are also low in carbohydrates, making them a good choice for a variety of diets. However, due to their curing process, anchoas tend to be high in sodium, which may not be ideal for individuals monitoring salt intake. They are a versatile ingredient, enhancing dishes such as salads, pizzas, pastas, and sauces. Their intense flavor pairs well with fresh, vibrant ingredients, making them a prized addition to many meals around the globe.
