About Bonito flakes
Bonito flakes, or katsuobushi, are dried, smoked, and fermented shavings of skipjack tuna, often used in Japanese cuisine. Known for their umami-rich flavor, they are a key ingredient in traditional dashi broth and are also sprinkled as a topping on dishes like okonomiyaki and takoyaki. Bonito flakes are high in protein and packed with amino acids, which can support muscle repair and overall health. They are also low in calories and free of carbohydrates, making them a diet-friendly seasoning. However, due to their sodium content, they should be consumed in moderation, particularly by those monitoring salt intake. Additionally, bonito flakes retain small amounts of natural fish oils, which offer omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to heart health. With their distinctive savory taste and nutritional benefits, they remain a staple in Japanese cooking and a versatile addition to many recipes globally.
