About Canned tuna
Canned tuna is a popular and convenient seafood option, widely used in various cuisines worldwide. It's typically sourced from species like albacore or skipjack and preserved in water, oil, or sauces for extended shelf life. Rich in lean protein, canned tuna provides essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium, supporting heart health, brain function, and immune strength. It's especially common in salads, sandwiches, casseroles, and sushi rolls. However, canned tuna can contain varying levels of mercury depending on the type, with smaller fish like skipjack having lower concentrations. Opting for “light tuna” over “white tuna” can be a healthier choice if mercury exposure is a concern. When selecting canned varieties, low-sodium options are ideal for reducing potential impacts on blood pressure. Overall, canned tuna is a versatile, nutritious, and affordable option for many diets, though moderation is key to balancing its benefits and risks.
