We usually turn to tuna fillings when we need a quick, healthy and nutritious meal. And, although we usually use canned tuna to facilitate our work, the meat of this fish can be used in other ways. Of course, we must bear in mind that, although the preparation time will not be too long, it will not be as fast as opening a can of tuna.
Tuna meat is highly valued as it has a smooth flavor and texture, which is easily combined with various ingredients. Of course, the consistency will vary depending on the type of preparation. The most advisable thing is to opt for fresh meat, instead of preserves, since the nutritional contribution is different (especially with regard to the quality of the proteins).
What do we know about tuna?
Tuna is a saltwater predatory fish whose physical characteristics give it great speed. It is a traveling animal that, thanks to the speed of its movements, develops both fat and very particular muscles. This makes their meat in high demand in the market for a variety of culinary uses. And, unlike others, this is a warm-blooded fish that can withstand temperatures of 8ºC. For this reason, this fish lives in temperate and tropical waters.
Now, what does tuna meat give us? Obviously, it not only provides proteins but also other nutrients, such as: sodium, calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, iron, folic acid, omega 3, vitamin (A, B, D and E), as well as healthy fats. It should be noted that this contribution is possible thanks to the type of diet of the tuna while it lives in the sea: crustaceans and other smaller fish.
