About Bacalhau
Bacalhau refers to salt-cured dried cod, a staple in Portuguese cuisine with roots tracing back centuries. Rich in protein and low in fat, this nutrient-dense fish is an excellent source of essential amino acids, vitamins such as B12, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium, which support bone health and immune function. Its preservation method—drying and salting—ensures a long shelf life, making it a culinary mainstay across various recipes, from baked dishes to stews. However, Bacalhau's high sodium content is an important consideration, as excessive salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure or heart concerns. Typically prepared by soaking the fish to reduce salt levels, Bacalhau is versatile and can be incorporated into healthy, balanced meals. As part of a Mediterranean diet, it offers nutritious value, while its flavorful profile makes it a beloved ingredient in global gastronomy.
