About Cod roe tarama

Cod roe tarama is a creamy spread made primarily from salted cod roe, mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and bread or potatoes to create a smooth, flavorful dip. Originating in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly Greek and Turkish, it is traditionally served as part of mezze platters alongside pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Cod roe is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like D and B12, supporting heart, brain, and immune health. However, tarama often contains high levels of sodium and calories due to the curing process of the roe and the added ingredients, making portion control important for a balanced diet. The olive oil in the recipe contributes healthy monounsaturated fats, while lemon juice offers vitamin C for immune support. Despite its indulgent taste, cod roe tarama can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a nutrient-dense meal or snack.
