Ceviche is a vibrant and refreshing dish originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly Peru. It consists of raw fish or seafood marinated in fresh citrus juices, typically lime or lemon, which "cook" the protein through the acidity. Common additions include chopped onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and sometimes tomatoes, all enhancing its bright flavors. Rich in lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins, ceviche can be a healthy choice when prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dish is naturally low in fat and calories, making it ideal for those seeking a light and nutritious meal. However, it’s important to ensure the seafood is sourced responsibly and handled properly for food safety. While ceviche is often served alone or paired with plantain chips or avocado, watch for excessive sides or oils that can add unhealthy fats. Enjoy this zesty dish as a flavorful, nutrient-packed option in your diet.
