Anchovies are small, oily fish commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine, though they are enjoyed globally in various forms. Prized for their bold, salty flavor, they are often preserved by curing in salt and packed in oil or brine. Anchovies are a rich source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamins B12, A, and D, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, and selenium. These nutrients support brain function, heart health, and bone strength. Despite their nutritional benefits, anchovies can be high in sodium due to the curing process, which may be a concern for individuals following a low-sodium diet. They are versatile in cooking, frequently used in sauces, dressings, or as toppings, adding a depth of flavor to dishes. Anchovies provide a healthy boost when consumed in moderation, contributing to a balanced and nutrient-rich diet.
