Sardines, Canned, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Sardines, canned and drained, are small, oily fish preserved in water or oil and sold ready-to-eat after draining excess liquid. Unlike larger canned fish, they are typically consumed whole—including their soft, edible bones—providing a notable calcium boost alongside high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This shelf-stable format offers a convenient source of heart-healthy fats and minerals, though sodium content varies depending on packing methods.
