Tilapia is a mild-flavored freshwater fish native to Africa but widely farmed and consumed globally. A versatile ingredient, it features prominently in cuisines like Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian, often grilled, baked, or pan-fried. Tilapia is rich in high-quality protein, offering essential amino acids ideal for muscle repair and general health. It’s an excellent source of key nutrients like vitamin B12, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium, which support cellular function, energy production, and immune health. Low in calories and fat—in particular saturated fat—tilapia can be a heart-healthy choice when prepared with minimal added oils or sodium. On the downside, farm-raised tilapia can sometimes be higher in omega-6 fatty acids compared to omega-3s, making moderation important for maintaining anti-inflammatory balance. For sustainable and nutritious options, choose responsibly farmed tilapia to ensure environmental and dietary benefits.
