About Tuna spread

Tuna spread is a creamy and versatile condiment made primarily from canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise, yogurt, or cream cheese, often with additions like diced celery, pickles, onions, and spices for extra flavor. Originating as a staple in Western cuisine, it is commonly used as a sandwich filling, cracker topper, or dip. Rich in lean protein from tuna, the spread provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, its healthiness depends on preparation; using mayonnaise or cream cheese significantly increases fat and calorie content, while yogurt offers a lighter alternative. Low-sodium canned tuna and reduced-fat ingredients can make it a more heart-healthy choice. Enjoyed in moderation, tuna spread offers a delicious balance of nutrition and flavor suitable for a variety of meals and snacks.
