About Sgombro
Sgombro, known as mackerel in English, is a flavorful, oily fish widely enjoyed in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, sgombro supports heart health, brain function, and overall vitality. It contains minerals such as selenium and iodine, which are vital for thyroid health and immune function. Low in carbohydrates and relatively inexpensive, mackerel is an excellent choice for nutrient-dense meals. However, its high-fat content can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those watching their weight. Additionally, some larger mackerel species may contain trace amounts of mercury, so moderation is advised—especially for pregnant individuals. Whether grilled, smoked, or canned, sgombro remains a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet, celebrated for its bold taste and impressive health benefits.
