About Spanish sardines

Spanish sardines are a flavorful and nutritious type of small fish commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean cuisine and widely popular in the Philippines. Typically preserved in olive oil, tomato sauce, or water, they are packed with essential nutrients like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and vitamins such as B12 and D. These nutrients contribute to heart health, improved brain function, and strong bones. Thanks to their high levels of healthy fats, Spanish sardines can help lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation. Originating from the Iberian Peninsula, they are often seasoned with garlic, paprika, and herbs, making them a versatile ingredient for pastas, salads, and rice dishes. However, they can be high in sodium due to preservation methods, so moderation is recommended for those managing blood pressure. Affordable and easy to prepare, Spanish sardines are both a culinary treasure and a nutritional powerhouse in a well-balanced diet.
