Tinned anchovies are small, oily fish commonly preserved in salt or oil, originating from the Mediterranean region. Popular in Italian, Spanish, and French cuisine, these fish boast an intense, savory flavor that enhances sauces, dressings, and tapas. Nutritionally, anchovies are rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and vitamin D, making them excellent for heart health, bone strength, and overall wellness. They are low in calories but provide substantial nourishment in small portions. However, the preservation process often includes high levels of sodium, which could be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Additionally, some brands pack anchovies in oil, which increases calorie and fat content. When consumed in moderation, tinned anchovies can be an excellent addition to a balanced diet, offering both distinctive flavor and vital nutrients.
