November 24th
National Sardines Day
Sardines are a
popular
food regularly consumed by millions of
people therefore they surely deserve their
own national day.
The term “sardines” refers to several types of small, oily fish belonging
to the family Clupeidae. This term is thought to have come from the
Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which these fish used to be
abundant.
Sardines are a very nutrient-rich fish. They are high in vitamins B2, B3
and B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and iron. They are
also a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for normal
metabolism but cannot be produced by the human body on its own. Omega-3 fatty
acids are useful for our cardiovascular system.
Sardines are typically sold canned. Before being canned, sardines are
washed, beheaded, and cooked by steam-cooking or deep-frying. Then the fish are
dried. They can be packed either in olive, soybean, or sunflower oil, water, or
a tomato, mustard or chili sauce. Fresh sardines can be pickled, grilled or
smoked.
To celebrate the National Sardines Day, you can eat some sardines on
toast or cook a more complicated dish containing sardines – it's up to
you!
