Tuna salads are some of the most popular in the world, and for good reason. Tuna meat is oily, without small bones and is highly valued for its highest protein content among fish.
“Sea veal,” as the chef’s tuna is called, has exceptional taste qualities and contains approximately 120 kilocalories per 100 grams of product.
In addition, this low-calorie product is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are useful for the cardiovascular system, as they help us cope with harmful cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart attack and the likelihood of blood clots.
