About Bacalao
Bacalao, or dried salted codfish, is a staple ingredient in Mediterranean, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisines. This versatile food offers a robust, savory flavor and is often featured in stews, fritters, and casseroles. Originally popularized for its long shelf life, Bacalao is rich in protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals including potassium and selenium, supporting muscle health and metabolism. It is low in fat and carbohydrates, making it a good choice for high-protein diets. However, Bacalao is high in sodium due to the salting process, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Rehydration techniques, such as soaking or boiling, can help reduce sodium content. Whether enjoyed in a hearty Spanish dish or tropical recipes, Bacalao combines nutritional value with culinary tradition, perfect for diverse and flavorful meals.
