About Mackeral
Mackerel is a flavorful, nutrient-rich fish commonly found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Known for its oily texture and distinctive taste, it’s often featured in Mediterranean, Japanese, and Nordic cuisines, whether grilled, smoked, or canned. Mackerel is prized for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which supports heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. It’s also an excellent source of protein, vitamin D, and essential B vitamins, such as B12, which aid energy production and metabolism. Additionally, mackerel provides vital minerals like selenium, which contributes to antioxidant defense, and iodine, essential for thyroid health. However, certain types of mackerel, such as king mackerel, may contain higher mercury levels, making them less ideal for frequent consumption, particularly for pregnant women or children. Incorporating smaller mackerel species like Atlantic mackerel into your diet offers a nutritious, sustainable seafood option with a wealth of health benefits.
