About Salted cod
Salted cod, a staple in global cuisines from the Caribbean to Europe, is a dried and salted fish that originates from centuries-old preservation practices. Traditionally made using Atlantic cod, the salting and drying process enhances its shelf life and imparts a concentrated, distinctive flavor. Nutritionally, salted cod is rich in protein and low in fat, offering essential vitamins like B12 and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. However, its high sodium content due to preservation should be noted, as excessive salt intake can impact cardiovascular health. Rehydrating and rinsing before cooking significantly reduces its saltiness. Salted cod is versatile, featuring prominently in dishes like Bacalhau à Brás in Portuguese cuisine or Jamaican ackee and saltfish. While it offers a protein-packed option for diverse meals, moderation and preparation are key to enjoying its health benefits without overindulging in its sodium content.
