About Anchovies

Anchovies are small, saltwater fish commonly found in Mediterranean, Southeast Asian, and Southern European cuisines. These culinary staples are typically cured with salt and packed in oil or brine, delivering a bold, savory umami flavor that enhances dishes like Caesar salads, pasta sauces, and pizzas. Nutritionally, anchovies are a powerhouse offering high levels of protein, omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, and vitamin D. Despite their miniature size, their nutrient density makes them an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Anchovies are low in calories and contain healthy fats, though their curing process often leads to a high sodium content, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Whether fresh or preserved, anchovies bring robust flavor and a wealth of health benefits to meals.
