Read Sardines for Brain Health, an article by Lauren Ayers that we published, to learn all the benefits! Here is a sneak peak: “Sardines are a “nutritional powerhouse” that contain many important nutrients. In addition to DHA and EPA omega-3s, sardines are a source of meaningful amounts of vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and more. According to a 2023 article published in Frontiers in Nutrition, it is the “matrix of nutrients” contained in sardines (and not just the omega-3s) that confer cardiovascular benefits. Describing sardines as a “functional food,” those authors suggest that “it is reasonable to recommend at least 1-2 servings of sardines per week” to gain the heart benefits. Researchers have also noted the benefits of the calcium and vitamin D in sardines for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis.” Following are a number of recipes we’ve published that include sardines. Note that we recommend wild sardines with skin and bones such as these in glass jars.
