Caviar is a delicacy consisting of salt-cured fish eggs, traditionally harvested from sturgeon species native to the Caspian and Black Seas. Prized in global gourmet cuisine, caviar is notably rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin B12, contributing to heart health, brain function, and immune support. It also contains small amounts of cholesterol and sodium, so moderation is advised. The flavors are briny and nuanced, with luxurious textures that elevate dishes or serve as a standalone treat. Although rooted in Eastern European and Russian culinary traditions, caviar is now enjoyed worldwide and comes in varieties from other fish such as salmon, trout, or paddlefish. As a nutrient-dense food, caviar is both indulgent and beneficial in small portions, making it an iconic yet occasionally extravagant addition to a balanced diet.
