Top 5 Health Benefits of Canned Tuna

 

Source of high-quality protein
Fish is a source of a high-quality protein, and canned tuna in particular offers an affordable protein source and makes a useful storecupboard staple.

 

Useful source of the amino acid taurine
As well as being a source of protein, seafood, including fish like tuna, is a useful source of the amino acid taurine. Studies suggest this amino acid may be helpful for protecting against heart disease.

 

Useful source of vitamins and minerals
Both fresh and canned tuna are a useful source of B vitamins, especially niacin (B3), which supports the nervous system and skin. Tuna also contains calcium, which supports healthy bones and muscle contractions; magnesium, required for energy; and vitamin D, which supports the immune system, bone strength and brain function. Fresh tuna (per 100g) has double the amount of vitamin D compared to that of canned tuna.

 

Low in fat
Tuna is low in fat, with just 1g of fat in a 100g edible portion – this is also the case for tuna canned in spring water or brine.
Although once considered an oily variety of fish, the type considered beneficial for heart health, the UK's official advice on oily fish changed in 2018, with tuna no longer counting as a good source. This is because current data shows that levels of the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in fresh tuna are more comparable to that found in white fish.

 

May help weight management
Tuna, including canned tuna in spring water or brine, is low in fat and calories, but high in protein, making it a useful inclusion in a weight loss diet.

When To Use Canned Tuna In Oil Over Water
 

It's always a good idea to have canned tuna in your panty. The ways you can use it are endless, from tuna melts to tuna patties to niçoise salad.


At any given grocery store, you can choose between tuna packed in water or tuna packed in oil. Both types of tuna are great sources of lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids (with water-packed tuna containing more), but does it really matter which type you use for cooking? Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste - but there are certain dishes where it makes sense to use one over the other. A good rule of thumb is that if you'll be enjoying your tuna with little to no mix-ins, you should go for oil-packed tuna. If you'll be flavoring your tinned fish, reach for water-packed.


You may believe that, nutritionally, the better choice is tuna packed in water because it contains fewer calories than tuna packed in oil. Tuna in oil, however, is higher in bone-healthy vitamin D and selenium, which helps your body fight infections. In addition, the oil that tuna comes packed in is typically unsaturated, i.e. heart-friendly.

There's More Flavor in Oil-Packed Tuna

 

 

Flavor-wise, oil-packed tuna gets the gold star. The texture, too, is going to be more tender because the fish is packed in fat, which keeps it moist. This type of tuna shines by itself, without the need for mayonnaise or other creamy condiments.


Use oil-packed tuna for topping a salad; When it will be an ingredient in pasta dishes, such as Sicilian spaghetti with tuna; Or to top crackers and breads. It's even delicious eaten with a fork right out of the can.
In general, canned tuna is affordable, but you may notice that there are some brands of oil-packed tuna that are substantially more expensive than their water-packed counterparts. Many of these are European brands, and the tuna comes in larger filets packed in olive oil. Some even come smoked or canned with additional herbs and spices. Whether they're worth the splurge is up to you. One option is to purchase several different types at once to determine which ones are your favorites and what you'd use the less expensive ones in, versus the dishes that call for a splurge.

Canned Tuna Has a Number of Recipe Possibilities

 

 

Pair canned tuna with pasta and fresh spring peas for a light but filling supper, or mix it with breadcrumbs for some crunchy croquettes. You can wrap tuna in butter lettuce for a fresh twist on the basic tuna sandwich. Try your hand at an elevated summer salad of tuna confit over tomato salad, subbing canned tuna in oil for fresh.

Tuna in Oil Vs. Tuna in Water
 

Is oil-packed or water-packed tuna better? You'll see both in aisles. There's no right answer, although one way to decide which to buy is to think about how you will use it. "Oil packed is great if it's extra-virgin olive oil and the source is trusted," says Bittman. "Water packed is fine, too; obviously it has less flavor, but you can always add oil."

When to choose water-packed

Suppose you're looking to incorporate tuna into a recipe that calls for its own seasoning. In that case, water-packed allows the flavor of the tuna to shine through, and you can control the spices and seasoning and adjust accordingly. "I find the tuna packed in water is best for eventually mixing it with some kind of fat and other flavors," says Jessica Lawrenz, a cheesemonger who frequently pairs tinned fish with cheese.

When to choose oil-packed

If, however, you're making a dish that calls for olive oil-Or you're snacking on tuna-You might want to reach for canned tuna packed in the fat. "As a longtime seafood chef, I prefer my tuna packed in olive oil for richness, mouthfeel, and moisture," Langley says. I prefer to use the whole contents of the can, oil included, so recipes that are flexible with oil, like a salad with a nice dressing or something that deserves a drizzle, is where I prefer to use tuna packed in oil."

 
The Healthiest Canned Tuna

All tuna is good tuna - in moderation. As for mercury levels, there is no significant difference between tuna in oil versus tuna in water (via Environmental Research). The most important factor there appears to be the type, with white (or albacore) tuna showing significantly more total mercury than light (or skipjack) versions of tuna.


While there are definite differences between tuna in oil and tuna in water, choosing the best one depends on what matters most to you and how you will be using that can of tuna. If you're counting calories and maximizing omega-3 fatty acids, then tuna in water might make a great choice. On the other hand, if moisture, flavor, and vitamin D levels are your focus, then olive oil-packed tuna might be better.


Whatever tuna you choose, it's important not to go overboard for this mild-flavored fish. Because of its high sodium content and potentially elevated mercury levels, keep your tuna intake under the maximum. That should be no more than one to three 4-ounce servings (per week), depending on the type of tuna you enjoy.
