About Ansjovis

Ansjovis, commonly known as anchovies, are small saltwater fish packed with rich flavor and significant nutritional benefits. Traditionally associated with Mediterranean cuisine, they are a staple ingredient in dishes such as Caesar salad, pasta sauces, and pizzas. Ansjovis are an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium, iron, and selenium, which contribute to heart health, bone strength, and overall wellness. Additionally, they are low in calories and contain beneficial vitamins such as B12, A, and D. However, their high sodium content, due to preservation methods like curing or packing in oil, may be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. Their bold umami taste makes them a versatile ingredient in creating robust, savory dishes. Opting for fresh or minimally processed versions can help balance nutritional benefits while reducing excess sodium. Ansjovis remain a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
