Canned mackerel and its numerous health benefits

When we think of canned Portuguese fish, we immediately think of sardines, tuna or cod, the most traditional fish in our diet. However, another variety that is very much present on the Portuguese table is the mackerel, a delicious and nutritionally rich fatty fish that can be cooked in different ways, making it a very versatile fish in the kitchen.

But the most curious thing about mackerel is the number of health benefits that eating this blue fish provides, mainly thanks to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which is why it is gaining more and more fans.

In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, it also contains EPA and DHA fats, vitamins A, B6, B12, D and E, minerals such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, selenium and proteins, making it an excellent ally in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, reducing the risk of developing diabetes, improving cognitive function, weight maintenance, among others... 

The countless benefits of mackerel, combined with our traditional production techniques, make this a product of the highest quality! So, if you're not yet familiar with this Portuguese variety, now is the time!
