About Codfish caviar

Codfish caviar, often referred to as tarama or taramasalata in culinary contexts, is a delicacy made from the salted roe of codfish. This ingredient is a staple in Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisines, particularly enjoyed in dips and spreads. Codfish caviar is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. It also contains vitamins such as B12 and D, contributing to energy metabolism and bone health. However, traditional preparations often include added oils and starches, which increase calorie and fat content, as well as a significant amount of sodium. Moderation is advised due to its high salt levels, which can impact blood pressure. Codfish caviar is celebrated for its creamy texture and savory flavor, offering a luxurious nutritional boost when incorporated into a balanced diet.
