Sardines canned in oil or water are a versatile seafood choice commonly used in Mediterranean, European, and Asian cuisines. These small, nutrient-dense fish are packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin D, making them a heart-healthy option that supports bone health and brain function. Rich in selenium and vitamins B12 and B6, they help boost energy and support immunity. Sardines are typically low in mercury compared to larger fish, making them a safer choice for frequent consumption. However, canned varieties may contain added salt, which can influence sodium intake, so opting for low-sodium options might be preferable for certain dietary needs. Convenient and shelf-stable, sardines are ideal for quick meals and snacks, whether served on salads, crackers, or blended into spreads. Their sustainability as a seafood option further adds to their appeal as a nutritious and environmentally friendly source of protein.
