Why You Need to Eat Sardines

Despite what you may have heard, sardines can actually be a tasty, convenient and affordable treat. This underrated superfood is a nutritional powerhouse — it's high in protein, loaded with calcium, phosphorus and iron and an excellent source of Omega 3 and Coenzyme Q10. Plus, sardines are low in the food chain which makes them naturally low in mercury and one of the best choices you can make for sustainability considerations! Unlike other sardines on the market, which can be fishy and extremely salty, Wild Planet’s Wild Sardines are scale-free (for an easy eating experience) with a mild flavor that pairs well with a variety of recipes — and can even be enjoyed on their own.
