About Sardine

Sardines are small, nutrient-packed fish commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisines. Named after the Italian island of Sardinia, where they were once abundant, these oily fish are typically canned, smoked, or fresh. Sardines are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health, as well as high-quality protein for muscle repair and growth. Rich in vitamins like B12 and D, and minerals such as calcium and selenium, they support bone health and immune function. Low on the food chain, sardines are eco-friendly and less likely to contain harmful levels of mercury compared to larger fish. While sardines in oil and added salt can increase calorie and sodium intake, choosing water-packed and minimally processed options make them a lean, healthy choice. Their robust flavor complements salads, pastas, and spreads, making them a versatile addition to your diet.
