About Salted dried fish
Salted dried fish is a preserved seafood staple popular in many cuisines, particularly in Asian, African, and Caribbean culinary traditions. It is made by curing fresh fish with salt and dehydrating it, a process that enhances its shelf life and concentrates its flavor. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium and potassium, salted dried fish can contribute to bone health and heart health when consumed in moderation. However, its high sodium content is a notable concern, as excessive intake may lead to hypertension and water retention. Depending on the preparation method, it can also be a source of certain vitamins, such as B12. Salted dried fish adds deep umami flavor to dishes like stews, soups, and stir-fries but should be balanced with fresh ingredients to maintain overall nutritional health.
