NEW PRODUCT! Smoked Baltic sardines in oil in GLASS JAR

Published: Saturday, 02 April 2016 00:54

Sardines are one of the world’s healthiest foods because they contain three of the nutrients a lot of people are often deficient in: omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and vitamin D.

 

Sardines (and herring) are great because they are:

  • Inexpensive 
  • Shelf stable (keep them in your pantry at all times for a quick meal)
  • Already cooked – no dishes to wash
  • Full of high quality protein and good fats
  • Versatile (mash them on crackers, make a salad, turn them into a sandwich spread, cook into sauces)

Eating A Sardine

If you like tuna salad and you like fish, you’ll like sardines. If you aren’t so hot on fish, however, you probably won’t like them.

4 Seasons Brands sardines are smoked and best to eat them from the tin directly or tend to mash them up into salads, spreads and things.

You can easily flake the fish to look like chunk light tuna. The bones of sardines are so soft and mashable they really shouldn’t even be called bones. People think of bones as pointy, stiff and dangerous to eat, but these bones are soft cartilage that gets mashed with the filets. They are where all the nutrients are! You can’t even really see them:
