About Roe

Roe, the eggs of fish or certain marine animals like sea urchins, is a prized delicacy in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in Japanese, Russian, and Nordic dishes. This nutrient-dense food is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, supporting brain health, heart function, and immune systems. It's also a good source of minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. However, roe is often high in sodium, especially when cured or processed, making moderation key for those monitoring salt intake. Popular varieties include salmon roe (ikura), sturgeon roe (caviar), and cod roe, offering distinct flavors and textures. Its vibrant colors and briny taste make it a luxurious addition to sushi, toast, or pasta. While roe is nutrient-rich, its cholesterol content can be significant, so balance is essential when incorporating it into a healthy diet.
