Tuna canned is a convenient, shelf-stable seafood product made from cooked and preserved tuna, typically packed with water, oil, or brine. Originating as a global commodity, it is used across various cuisines, including Mediterranean, Asian, and Western dishes. Rich in protein, canned tuna is a valuable source of essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health, along with vitamins like B12 and D. Low in calories and free from carbohydrates, it is suitable for many diets. However, it may contain higher levels of sodium or mercury depending on the brand and species of tuna, making moderation important. Versatile and easy to prepare, canned tuna is popular in salads, sandwiches, casseroles, and sushi rolls, offering both nutrition and ease to meals. Always consider labels for sustainability and mercury content when selecting.
