Oil-packed anchovies are small, salt-cured fish typically preserved in olive or vegetable oil. Originating from the Mediterranean and often associated with Italian, Spanish, and French cuisine, these flavor-packed fish are a staple in dishes like pasta sauces, tapenades, and salad dressings. Anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart and brain health, and are a good source of protein, calcium, and iron. They also contain essential vitamins such as B12 and D. However, due to the curing process, they are high in sodium, which may not be suitable for low-sodium diets. Their robust, savory profile makes them a versatile ingredient that adds depth to recipes, but they are best enjoyed in moderation to balance their nutritional benefits and sodium content.
