About Mediterranean sardines

Mediterranean sardines are small, nutrient-packed fish commonly found in cuisine from coastal Mediterranean regions. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and essential minerals like calcium and selenium, these sustainable seafood options offer numerous health benefits. Omega-3s support heart and brain health, while their vitamin and mineral content promotes strong bones and energy metabolism. Sardines are typically enjoyed grilled, pickled, or canned, often seasoned with olive oil, garlic, or fresh herbs. Their robust flavor pairs well with salads, pasta, and hearty bread. These fish are low in mercury compared to larger species, making them a safer choice for regular consumption. However, canned varieties can be high in sodium, so it's best to check labels if monitoring salt intake. Affordable, versatile, and nutrient-rich, Mediterranean sardines are a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
