Canned Sardines in Tomato Sauce

Canned Sardines in Tomato Sauce

EverydayCannedCooked

Canned sardines in tomato sauce are precooked, oil-rich fish preserved in a seasoned tomato-based liquid, providing a convenient source of marine omega-3 fatty acids and calcium from their softened edible bones. The tomato sauce contributes lycopene antioxidants while enhancing flavor, though some brands may contain added sugars or high sodium levels. Ready to eat straight from the tin, these sardines serve as a portable protein option (15-20g per serving) popular in Mediterranean diets and sustainable seafood choices due to their low position in the food chain.
