About Tylapia
Tilapia is a versatile, mild-flavored freshwater fish that has become a staple in cuisines worldwide, from Mediterranean to Asian dishes. Native to Africa, tilapia is now farmed globally due to its affordability and sustainability. It's a lean source of protein, containing about 23 grams per 3-ounce serving, and is low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for weight-conscious diets. Tilapia also provides essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and potassium, benefiting heart health, brain function, and overall immunity. However, the omega-3 fatty acid content in tilapia is lower compared to other fatty fish like salmon. Additionally, farming practices can impact its nutritional quality, so it's recommended to choose tilapia from responsibly sourced farms. With its adaptability to various recipes, tilapia offers a healthy and delicious option for balanced meals.
