About Sprats

Sprats are small, oily fish belonging to the herring family, widely consumed across Europe and regarded for their rich nutritional profile. Native to Northeastern Atlantic waters and the Baltic Sea, sprats are a staple in many cuisines, particularly Scandinavian, Eastern European, and Mediterranean diets. They are typically smoked, canned, or fried, making them a versatile addition to meals. High in Omega-3 fatty acids, sprats are celebrated for their heart-healthy benefits, aiding in cholesterol regulation and promoting brain function. They are also an excellent source of protein, vitamins D and B12, and essential minerals like iodine and selenium. However, due to their slightly elevated sodium content, particularly in preserved forms, moderation is recommended for individuals managing salt intake. These small fish pack tremendous flavor and nutrition, ideal for anyone seeking a wholesome, nutrient-dense seafood option.
