About Tuna paste

Tuna paste is a smooth, spreadable seafood product made primarily from blended tuna, often seasoned with ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and spices. Sometimes herbs, capers, or garlic are added for enhanced flavor. Originating in Mediterranean and European cuisines, tuna paste is a versatile condiment that pairs well with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. It’s rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Additionally, it provides essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, selenium, and potassium. While tuna paste is a nutritious option, consumers should be mindful of sodium content in premade varieties and consult packaging for mercury levels, especially for frequent consumption. Lightweight and easy to store, tuna paste is a convenient choice for quick snacks and appetizers, offering a balance of flavor and functional health benefits.
