About Tarama
Tarama is a flavorful paste made primarily from salted and cured fish roe, commonly sourced from cod, carp, or mullet. It originates from Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines, particularly Greece and Turkey, where it forms the base of the well-known dish taramasalata, a creamy spread typically blended with olive oil, lemon juice, and bread or potatoes. Nutritionally, tarama is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, which support brain and heart health. However, it is notably high in sodium due to the curing process and should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring their salt intake. Often paired with vegetables or whole-grain crackers, tarama can contribute to a balanced diet when eaten sparingly. Its vibrant flavor and smooth texture make it a distinctive addition to appetizers and spreads.
