About Can sardines
Can sardines, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, are small, oily fish often preserved in oil, water, or tomato sauce. Originating as a convenient seafood option, sardines are packed with nutrition. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health, and are rich in protein, promoting muscle repair and satiety. Sardines also offer vital nutrients like vitamin B12, calcium, and selenium, beneficial for energy production, bone health, and antioxidant protection. Low in mercury compared to larger fish, canned sardines are considered a safer seafood choice. However, their sodium content can be significant, especially if preserved with added salt—moderation is advised for those monitoring their sodium intake. Easy to incorporate into meals, sardines can be enjoyed in salads, pastas, or on toast, making them a versatile addition to a balanced diet.
