Canned Albacore Tuna in Water, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned albacore tuna in water, drained, is a lean protein source derived from the white-fleshed albacore species, known for its milder flavor and firmer texture compared to darker tuna varieties. The water-packed processing and draining significantly reduce fat content while preserving high biological-value protein, yielding moist but distinct flakes ideal for cold preparations like salads and sandwiches. Though lower in mercury than some large tuna species, dietary guidelines still recommend moderated intake for pregnant individuals and young children due to trace heavy metal content.
