Fresh Bacalao, also known as cod, is a versatile white fish celebrated in Mediterranean and Atlantic cuisines, particularly in Portuguese, Spanish, and Scandinavian traditions. It features a mild flavor and firm texture, making it ideal for various preparations such as grilling, baking, and poaching. Low in fat yet high in protein, fresh bacalao is an excellent source of essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine, which support energy production, thyroid function, and immune health. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart and brain health. Unlike salted or preserved versions, fresh bacalao avoids excess sodium, making it a heart-friendly option. However, preparation methods like frying or pairing with rich, buttery sauces can add undesired calories and fats. Opt for simple cooking techniques and pair it with fresh vegetables or whole grains to maximize its nutritional benefits.
