About Anchovy
Anchovies are small, saltwater fish commonly found in Mediterranean, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. They are a staple in Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisines, valued for their bold, briny flavor that enhances dishes such as pasta, salads, pizza, and sauces like Caesar dressing. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, anchovies promote heart and brain health while providing essential nutrients like protein, iron, and calcium. They are also high in vitamins A, D, and B-12. Due to their small size and short lifespan, anchovies typically contain lower levels of mercury compared to larger fish. However, their sodium content is considerable, especially when cured or canned, so moderation is recommended. Anchovies are sustainable, nutrient-dense, and an accessible source of healthy fats, making them both an environmentally friendly and nutritious seafood choice.
