About Tongkol
Tongkol, commonly known as skipjack tuna, is a versatile fish popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Indonesian dishes. It is a rich source of protein, making it an excellent choice for muscle repair and growth. Tongkol is naturally low in fat but high in essential nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, heart health, and inflammation reduction. Skipjack tuna is also valued for its robust flavor, lending itself well to grilling, steaming, or being simmered in spicy coconut-based sauces. However, like other fish, Tongkol can contain trace amounts of mercury, so consumption should be moderated, especially for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. Its affordability and nutritional profile make it a favorite ingredient in many balanced diets, providing an excellent way to enjoy flavorful, nutrient-rich meals while maintaining health-conscious habits.
