Yellowfin Tuna, Canned in Water

Yellowfin Tuna, Canned in Water

EverydayCannedDrained

Yellowfin tuna canned in water (drained) is a lean seafood product valued for its high protein content and low fat profile. The canning process in water preserves the fish's natural nutrients while creating a convenient, shelf-stable protein source that contains significantly less fat than oil-packed varieties. While providing essential minerals like selenium and B vitamins, yellowfin tuna contains moderate mercury levels, warranting mindful consumption for pregnant individuals and young children. Its mild flavor and flaky texture make it particularly suitable for cold preparations like salads and sandwiches.
