About Salted herring
Salted herring is a traditional preservation method widely enjoyed in Scandinavian, Dutch, Russian, and other northern European cuisines. The fish is cured by being packed with salt, which draws out moisture and helps prevent spoilage. This process results in a flavorful, briny seafood that can be eaten as a snack, added to salads, or paired with breads and potatoes. Nutritionally, salted herring is rich in protein and essential Omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. It also contains important vitamins like B12 and Vitamin D, along with necessary minerals such as selenium and iodine. However, due to the salting process, it is high in sodium, which can be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure or cardiovascular health. Moderation is recommended to balance its nutritional benefits with its salt content. Salted herring offers a delicious and historically rich addition to many traditional dishes.
