Nutritional characteristics of fish
Italy is a country famous worldwide for its gastronomic excellences, with foods such as fish and seafood products in general playing a prominent role thanks to the conformation of our territory, mostly surrounded by the sea. This is why it is the country with the highest production of Sicilian canned fish. From a nutritional point of view, fish is a valuable food for various reasons: easy digestibility, significant content of proteins and minerals, and high biological value of the fats (mostly unsaturated) it contains.
Phosphorus, iodine, omega-3, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phospholipids are just some of the nutrients that contribute to making fish a real health support for the well-being of the body.
Particularly recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (due to its hypocholesterolemic properties), this food contains EPA acid which, being a precursor of prostaglandins, plays an effective vasodilatory and anti-thrombotic role.
That's why such food should be present on any table in the form of first courses and dishes suitable for individuals of all ages.
Regular consumption of fish also improves metabolism, aids in weight loss, enhances memory, and maintains low triglyceride levels.
It is also important to note that fish contains significant amounts of vitamins (especially A, B, and D), whose beneficial role in the heart, lungs, bones, visual system, and muscles has been confirmed by nutritionists.
Why choose canned fish?
There are various types of fish: blue fish (tuna, sardine, mackerel, salmon), which mainly live off our coasts (especially in Sicily); lean fish (sole, cod, sea bream, sea bass, grouper, and hake) that are ubiquitous; and semi-fat fish (swordfish, dentex, and trout).
These fish products are characterized by a well-defined seasonality, linked to their biological cycle, so they cannot be caught all year round.
During periods when they are not available, it is still possible to consume them in the form of preserves: these are extremely appetizing foods as they are prepared using traditional methods of organic preservation.
The Sicilian preserves Ta Sciali by the Taudì company, considered a true excellence of our country, are artisanal products that combine traditional methods of processing raw materials with state-of-the-art technologies.
The daily catch used by the company undergoes careful selection to choose only the best specimens, which are immediately subjected to specific preservation procedures.
Among Sicilian preserves producers, Taudì has always focused its mission on using 100% natural substances, such as sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, and spices, to enhance the fish aromas and flavors to the fullest.
With over 40 years of experience, Taudì is considered an important point of reference in the sector of Sicilian preserves of typical products.
