Canned sardines are small, nutrient-rich fish often preserved in oil, water, or sauce, originating from Mediterranean and European cuisines. Packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and essential minerals like calcium and selenium, they are a powerhouse of nutrition supporting heart, brain, and bone health. Their preservation process helps retain nutrients, making them a convenient, shelf-stable option for a variety of dishes. Sardines are low in mercury compared to larger fish, making them a safer seafood choice. However, they can be high in sodium due to the canning process, so individuals monitoring their salt intake should check labels carefully. Their robust flavor and versatility make them popular in salads, pasta, and on toast, offering a quick, healthy meal solution.
