Nutritionist Mihaela Bilic explained what canned tuna purchased by Romanians from supermarkets contains. She discussed why she recommends this product for consumption.
Mihaela Bilic emphasized that canned fish should be on the shopping list when we go to the supermarket. The nutritionist stated that regardless of the type of canned fish chosen (tuna, sardines, mackerel, herring), it is a rich source of Omega-3. It is a healthy food, especially if consumed in tomato sauce.
Canned fish is a product that deserves more attention. I thought I should make a small recommendation: do not underestimate canned fish; they are a practical, efficient, and inexpensive source of Omega-3. Whether it is tuna, sardines, mackerel, herring, or another type of fish, a can of fish is healthy, dietary (if you choose it in brine or tomato sauce, not in oil), and ready to eat!, said Mihaela Bilic.
The nutritionist pointed out that a can of sardines could cover the daily calcium requirement for an adult. She highlighted that the variant in tomato sauce can enhance iron absorption in the body. Fish contains essential fatty acids and minerals.
You can easily get rid of the fishy smell in the kitchen, take it with you to the office, eat it as is, or add it to a salad, pasta, rice, etc. For just a few lei, you get high-quality protein, essential fatty acids (with maximum Omega-3), and all the important minerals.
It should be noted that a can eaten with bones (e.g., sardines) covers the daily calcium requirement for an adult, calcium that is extremely easy to absorb and utilize in the body. Moreover, the variant in tomato sauce also promotes iron absorption. Therefore, you have all the reasons to keep a few cans of fish in your pantry. They are a healthy and nutritious backup solution for days when you don’t feel like cooking, Dr. Mihaela Bilic further stated on Facebook some time ago.
