Flaked tuna is a versatile, protein-packed seafood option made from cooked and shredded tuna, commonly sold canned in water, oil, or brine. A staple in Mediterranean, Japanese, and Western cuisines, it is popular in salads, sandwiches, casseroles, and sushi rolls. Rich in lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, flaked tuna supports muscle growth, heart health, and brain function. It is also a good source of essential nutrients like vitamin D, selenium, and B vitamins. However, it’s important to monitor sodium content in canned varieties and to be mindful of mercury levels, particularly for pregnant individuals and young children. Opting for sustainably sourced, low-mercury options ensures the healthiest and most environmentally friendly choice. Flaked tuna offers a convenient and nutritious addition to any meal, balancing flavor with health benefits.
