About Canned fish

Canned fish, such as tuna, sardines, salmon, and mackerel, is a versatile and convenient protein source enjoyed worldwide. Originating as a preservation method, it plays a significant role in cuisines from Mediterranean to Asian traditions. Packed with essential nutrients, canned fish is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vital vitamins like D and B12. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, and bone strength. Many varieties provide a valuable source of calcium, especially when bones are included, and they are typically low in saturated fat. However, some types may contain added salt or preservatives, so choosing low-sodium options is recommended. Additionally, certain canned fish, such as albacore tuna, may have higher mercury levels, making it advisable to enjoy in moderation. Affordable, shelf-stable, and nutrient-dense, canned fish is a convenient way to enhance meals while supporting a balanced diet.
