About Talapia
Tilapia is a mild-flavored freshwater fish popular worldwide for its affordability and versatility. Originating from Africa and the Middle East, it's widely farmed and featured in cuisines such as Asian, Mediterranean, and Latin American dishes. Rich in protein, tilapia provides essential nutrients like vitamin B12, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium, supporting energy production and bone health. It's also low in calories and saturated fat, making it a heart-friendly option. While tilapia contains omega-3 fatty acids, the levels are lower compared to fatty fish like salmon. Some farmed varieties might have an imbalance of omega-6 to omega-3 due to their diet, and concerns about farming practices have made sourcing important. Choosing sustainably farmed tilapia can ensure a healthy and environmentally-conscious choice, while enjoying its light taste and versatile use in broiled, grilled, or baked preparations.
