About Sardines in oil drained

Sardines in oil, drained, are a popular and nutrient-packed seafood option often used in Mediterranean, European, and Southeast Asian cuisines. These small, oily fish are rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, as well as minerals such as selenium and calcium. Known for their bold flavor, sardines are typically preserved in oils like soybean or olive oil, enhancing their richness and shelf stability. Draining the oil reduces calorie and fat content, making them a leaner option. Sardines are low in mercury compared to larger fish, making them a safer choice for regular consumption. Their omega-3s support heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. However, they can be high in sodium due to the preservation process, so those watching salt intake should consume them in moderation. Versatile and convenient, sardines are a wholesome addition to salads, pastas, and sandwiches.
