About Sardines
Sardines are small, oily fish commonly enjoyed across Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisines. Known for their rich flavor, these fish are often canned in oil, water, or tomato sauce, making them convenient and versatile. Nutritionally, sardines are a powerhouse packed with high-quality protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin D, supporting heart, bone, and brain health. They're also an excellent source of B12, selenium, and phosphorus, essential for energy metabolism and immune function. Sardines have a low mercury content compared to larger fish, making them a safer choice for frequent consumption. However, canned varieties may contain higher sodium levels, so it’s wise to monitor intake if you're sensitive to salt or managing high blood pressure. Whether grilled, in salads, or spread on toast, sardines are a nutritious addition to your diet, rooted in global culinary traditions.
