About Spanish anchovy
The Spanish anchovy is a small, nutrient-rich fish commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine. Known for its bold flavor, it is often salted, cured, or preserved in olive oil, making it a staple ingredient in dishes like tapas, Caesar salads, and pasta sauces. Anchovies are an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and essential minerals such as calcium and selenium, supporting heart health, brain function, and strong bones. Their small size and position in the food chain limit mercury levels, making them a safer seafood choice. However, their high sodium content due to curing processes may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Whether enjoyed fresh or preserved, Spanish anchovies offer a flavorful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
