About Gavros

Gavros, commonly known as anchovies, are small silverfish widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Greek dishes. Typically served fresh, marinated, or salted, gavros are prized for their rich umami flavor. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. Their omega-3 content promotes heart and brain health, while their high protein levels support muscle maintenance. They also provide selenium, an antioxidant important for immune function. However, salted gavros may contain high sodium levels, which could be a concern for those monitoring blood pressure. Fresh or marinated versions are lower in sodium and often paired with heart-healthy olive oil and lemon in traditional recipes. Easy to integrate into salads, meze platters, or pasta dishes, gavros are a delicious and nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet.
