About Sardina
Sardines are small, oily fish found primarily in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean seas, with their name originating from the Italian island of Sardinia. They are a highly nutritious seafood choice, rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. Packed with protein, calcium, and vitamin D, sardines also support bone strength and muscle function. They are a significant source of B vitamins, selenium, and iodine, essential for energy production and thyroid health. Sardines feature prominently in Mediterranean cuisine, often grilled, canned, or incorporated into salads and pastas. Their low position on the food chain means they accumulate fewer toxins, such as mercury, compared to larger fish. However, canned sardines can be high in sodium, making fresh or lower-sodium options preferable for those managing blood pressure. With their impressive nutrient profile, sardines are a sustainable and health-conscious addition to a balanced diet.
