Start with a good look at the ingredients –as most conventional tuna is precooked before canning, a great deal of the Omega 3 oils and nutrition is cooked out of the fish during this process along with the natural juices. These juices are then replaced by water, oil or broths, with the finished product containing about 55% tuna and 45% added liquids. There are brands, however, that retain those valuable natural juices to keep the Omega 3 content high. Wild Planet’s albacore tuna – cooked right in the can in it’s own juices – averages 1,340mg DHA and EPA Omega 3 per 2oz serving, which is about 140% of the American Heart Association’s recommended daily value. Simply mixing the natural juice right into the tuna keeps the tuna moist and delicious and full of those nutrients. Wild Planet contains just tuna and sea salt – nothing more. Tuna is also satisfying source of lean protein. Whether running a marathon or just powering through the day, protein is a building block for optimal health. Wild Planet tuna provides a pure source of this essential nutrient – a serving of their albacore provides 13g of delicious, satisfying protein. Try it stuffed into an avocado, mixed with canned white beans or your favorite grains – Wild Planet’s pure clean flavor makes it easy to enjoy this healthy, versatile fish any time of the day.
