About Tuna packed in water

Tuna packed in water is a lean, protein-rich option sourced from various species of tuna, commonly skipjack or albacore. A staple in many global cuisines, it is particularly popular in Mediterranean and American diets as an ingredient in salads, wraps, casseroles, and sandwiches. Low in fat, it provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium, which support heart, brain, and immune health. Packing it in water instead of oil reduces calorie content while retaining its natural flavor, making it ideal for lighter meals. However, it's important to monitor portion sizes and check sodium levels, as some varieties may contain added salt. For those concerned about sustainability, look for certifications indicating responsibly sourced tuna to protect marine ecosystems. Convenient and versatile, tuna packed in water is a nutritious pantry staple that fits into balanced eating habits.
