About Pilchards
Pilchards, also known as sardines in some regions, are small, oily fish typically found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Rich in essential nutrients, they are an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and key minerals like calcium, iodine, and selenium. These nutrients are known to support heart health, brain function, and strong bones. Pilchards are popular in Mediterranean, British, and Scandinavian cuisines, often enjoyed grilled, canned, or added to stews and salads. Their natural oils contribute to a creamy texture and robust flavor. While highly nutritious, they can be high in sodium when canned, so it’s best to choose varieties with reduced salt or fresh options if sodium intake is a concern. Sustainable and affordable, pilchards are a versatile and healthful addition to a balanced diet.
