Description
Sardines are a highly nutritious and versatile seafood option, enjoyed worldwide for their rich flavor and health benefits. Typically canned in oil, tomato sauce, or brine, sardines are packed with essential nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin D, which support heart health, brain function, and strong bones. Their soft, edible bones make them an excellent source of calcium, especially for those who avoid dairy. Sardines can be eaten straight from the can, added to salads, used in sandwiches, or incorporated into stews and pasta dishes. Their long shelf life and convenience make them a great pantry staple for quick, healthy meals.
