About Tuna belly

Tuna belly, known as "toro" in Japanese cuisine, is a prized cut of tuna from the fatty underside of the fish. Renowned for its rich, buttery texture and delicate flavor, it is a staple in sushi and sashimi dishes. This cut is packed with high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin D and selenium, promoting heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. However, its high fat content, while composed of healthy unsaturated fats, makes it calorie-dense compared to leaner cuts of tuna. Additionally, as with all large fish, tuna belly may contain traces of mercury, so moderation is advised, particularly for pregnant individuals or young children. Sourced primarily in Japan and coastal regions worldwide, tuna belly exemplifies indulgent yet nutrient-rich seafood, ideal for those seeking both flavor and health benefits within a balanced diet.
