Sardines with tomato sauce is a flavorful and nutrient-packed dish, often enjoyed in Mediterranean, African, and Asian cuisines. The primary components are sardines, a small, oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and a tangy tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, sometimes seasoned with garlic, onion, and spices. Sardines are an excellent source of protein, heart-healthy fats, vitamin D, and essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus. The tomato sauce adds antioxidants such as lycopene, which promotes skin and heart health. Typically canned for convenience, some varieties may contain added salt or sugar, which could increase sodium or calorie content. This dish can be enjoyed alone, paired with rice, or used as a topping for toast or pasta. Its low calorie and high nutrient profile make it a smart choice for a balanced diet when consumed in moderation and combined with fresh, whole-grain sides or vegetables.
