About Light tuna
Light tuna, a popular seafood choice, is sourced mainly from skipjack or yellowfin tuna species. Known for its mild flavor and flaky texture, it is commonly used in Mediterranean, Asian, and Western cuisines, finding its way into salads, sandwiches, sushi, and casseroles. Nutritionally, light tuna is a rich source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin D and selenium, which support heart health, brain function, and overall wellness. It is lower in calories and fat compared to other protein sources, making it an ideal option for balanced diets. However, light tuna does contain moderate levels of mercury, so consumption should be limited, particularly for pregnant individuals and young children. Opting for canned light tuna packed in water over oil can further reduce calorie and fat intake, providing a wholesome addition to a nutritious meal plan.
