Description

Low-sodium tuna in water is a healthy and versatile option for incorporating lean protein into your recipes. It is canned or packaged tuna, preserved in water instead of oils, and with a reduced sodium content to support a balanced, low-salt diet.

Tuna is a saltwater fish of oceanic origin, very popular in Mediterranean and global cuisine. It is primarily caught in temperate and tropical waters and is recognized for its mild flavor and firm texture, making it ideal for salads, sandwiches, baked dishes, and quick stews.

Among its main nutritional properties, it stands out for its high content of high-quality protein, low content of saturated fats, and the presence of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. Being in water and low in sodium, it is a perfect alternative for those looking to minimize salt intake without sacrificing flavor or nutrients.

In different Latin American countries, tuna in this presentation may be known as light tuna in water, low-salt tuna, or simply tuna in water. It is important to check the label to ensure it is low in sodium, especially if used for special diets.
