About Sardines in sunflower oil
Sardines in sunflower oil are a convenient, flavorful seafood option packed with nutrients. Commonly found in Mediterranean and European cuisines, these small, oily fish are preserved in sunflower oil, which enhances their taste and shelf life. Sardines are an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. They're also rich in essential vitamins like B12 and D, as well as minerals such as calcium and selenium. Sunflower oil contributes healthy unsaturated fats but adds extra calories, so portion control is key. With low levels of mercury compared to larger fish, sardines are a safer seafood choice. They can be enjoyed straight from the can, added to salads, or incorporated into pasta dishes, making them a versatile and nutritious option for those seeking a balanced diet.
