About Tuyo

Tuyo is a traditional Filipino delicacy made from salted, sun-dried herrings. This preservation method enhances its robust, salty flavor, making it a popular accompaniment with rice, tomatoes, and eggs for a savory meal. High in protein, tuyo provides essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and growth. It’s also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, due to its high salt content, tuyo should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring sodium intake or managing hypertension. Packed with vitamins and minerals like calcium and phosphorus, it contributes to bone health. Despite its intense flavor and aroma, tuyo remains a staple in Filipino households, embodying both cultural heritage and a balanced nutritional profile when enjoyed responsibly.
