Cured anchovies are small fish preserved with salt, a traditional method originating from Mediterranean and European cuisines. These tiny, flavorful fish are a staple in dishes from Italy, Spain, and France, adding a bold, umami taste to salads, pasta, sauces, and pizzas. Rich in protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, they are known to support brain health and reduce inflammation. Anchovies also provide essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and potassium, making them a nutrient-dense option for those seeking dietary variety. However, their preservation process results in high sodium content, meaning they should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Cured anchovies are often packed in olive oil, further enhancing their flavor and healthy fat content. Their strong, salty taste makes them a small but mighty ingredient that elevates dishes while contributing valuable nutrition.
