Tuna tin is a convenient, shelf-stable protein source made from cooked and preserved tuna fish, typically packed in water, oil, or brine. Popular in global cuisines, it is particularly prevalent in Mediterranean, Japanese, and American dishes, often used in salads, sandwiches, and casseroles. Tuna is rich in lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, supporting heart health, brain function, and muscle repair. However, certain varieties may contain moderate levels of mercury, so consumption should be balanced, especially for children and pregnant individuals. Opting for tuna packed in water instead of oil can reduce calorie and fat intake. Low in carbs and high in satiety, tuna is a versatile option for various dietary needs, including low-carb, high-protein, or light calorie-controlled diets. Always check labels for added ingredients like sodium, which can vary between brands.
