Canned Light Tuna in Water, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned light tuna in water (drained) is a convenient, precooked protein source made from smaller tuna species like skipjack, which contain less mercury than albacore. This lean preparation provides high-quality protein with minimal fat, retaining beneficial nutrients like selenium and omega-3 fatty acids while reducing sodium content through draining. The flaky, moist meat is commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and casseroles, offering versatile meal options for low-fat diets.
