Sardine / Tarli Fish

Description

Hailing from large schools in the sea, fresh Sardines are quite popular with today’s top chefs. The lack of ‘fishy’ taste and their firmer bodies makes them perfect for the grill. Named after the Mediterranean Island of Sardinia, this fish is rich in oil, small in size and silvery in colour. They are often pickled, grilled or smoked.

Nutrional Value Of Sardine / Tarli Fish

Sardines are rich in vitamins and minerals. A small serving of sardines once a day can provide up to 13% of the RDA (recommended daily allowance) value of vitamin B2; roughly one-quarter of the RDA of niacin, and about 150% of the RDA of vitamin B12. All B vitamins help to support proper nervous system function and are used for energy metabolism, or converting food into energy. Also, sardines are high in the major minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and some trace minerals such as iron and selenium. Sardines are also a natural source of marine omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies suggest the regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids reduces the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease and can even boost brain function. These fatty acids may also help lower blood sugar levels a small amount. They are also a good source of vitamin D, calcium, and protein.
