Sardines are small, nutrient-packed fish commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine but enjoyed worldwide. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, sardines promote heart health, support brain function, and strengthen bones. They're also an excellent source of calcium and selenium, key for maintaining healthy bones and a robust immune system. Low in mercury compared to larger fish, sardines are a sustainable choice for seafood lovers. These fish are often canned in oil, water, or flavorful sauces, enhancing their versatility in recipes. However, canned varieties can be high in sodium, making fresh sardines a healthier option for those monitoring salt intake. Whether grilled, baked, or added to salads and spreads, sardines provide a nutritious and environmentally friendly addition to any meal.
