About Tilapia filets
Tilapia filets are a popular choice for their mild flavor, versatility, and affordability. Originating from freshwater fish native to Africa and the Middle East, tilapia is now farmed worldwide and frequently featured in cuisines ranging from Latin American to Asian dishes. Nutritionally, tilapia is a lean source of protein, providing essential amino acids to support muscle repair and growth. It is low in calories, saturated fat, and carbohydrates, making it suitable for weight-conscious diets. Tilapia is also rich in vitamins like B12 and minerals such as potassium and phosphorus, which promote heart health and strong bones. However, the health profile can vary depending on farming practices; sustainably farmed tilapia is recommended to reduce exposure to contaminants. Cooking methods also play a role—grilled, baked, or steamed is healthier than fried preparations. Tilapia filets are an accessible and nutritious choice for many dietary preferences.
