About Tuna light

Tuna Light is a popular seafood product made from smaller species of tuna, such as skipjack, known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. Often canned or packaged in water or oil, it is a versatile ingredient used in salads, sandwiches, pasta, and sushi, aligning well with Mediterranean, Asian, and global cuisines. Nutritionally, Tuna Light is a lean source of high-quality protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. It also provides essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, B12, and selenium. Compared to albacore tuna, it typically contains lower levels of mercury, making it a safer choice for regular consumption. However, portion sizes and sodium content should be monitored, particularly in canned varieties packed with added salt. Tuna Light is a convenient, nutrient-dense option for those seeking a balanced and protein-rich diet.
