Even an excellent food deserves to be consumed in moderation.
Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium… The list of nutritional benefits of sardines is long. Once you discover their advantages, the desire to eat them every day is understandable. However, canned sardines naturally contain more sodium than unprocessed foods. A varied diet remains the best approach. Remember to alternate them with fresh fish, eggs, legumes, or lean meats to maintain a harmonious nutritional balance in the long term.
The type of oil used makes all the difference when it arrives on your plate.
It's a detail we rarely think about, yet it's crucial. Many canned sardines are packed in refined vegetable oils, particularly high in omega-6 fatty acids, which are potentially altered during high-temperature sterilization. The result: a fish naturally rich in healthy fats ends up with fats that throw off its entire nutritional profile. The solution is simple: choose sardines preserved in olive oil or water. The benefits are noticeable both on the plate and in terms of nutritional quality.
