Canned Sardines in Brine

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned sardines in brine (drained) are small, oily fish preserved through cooking in saltwater, retaining their high omega-3 fatty acid and protein content while remaining shelf-stable. Unlike larger fish, they pose minimal mercury risk and provide a significant calcium boost due to their edible, softened bones. Though draining reduces sodium levels, they remain a convenient, nutrient-dense protein source ideal for salads, sandwiches, or direct consumption.
