Two cans of tuna fish typically contain canned chunks or flakes of tuna preserved in water, oil, or brine. Tuna is a versatile seafood originating from global cuisines, commonly found in Mediterranean, Asian, and Western dishes. It is an excellent source of lean protein and rich in essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium, which promote heart health, brain function, and immune support. Low in fat when packed in water, it serves as a lighter alternative to other proteins, though varieties in oil may contain more calories and fat. Some brands may add sodium or preservatives, so it's important to review labels for those monitoring salt intake. While canned tuna is convenient and nutritious, consuming it in moderation is advised due to potential mercury content. Pairing it with vegetables or whole grains enhances its health benefits, making it a balanced choice for meals or snacks.
