Details

Experts recommend that fish should be part of any diet and should be consumed at least twice a week. Canned fish is a simple and fast to prepare and a healthy meal, at the same time.

Canned fish is a rich source of proteins, unsaturated fat free, as well as Vitamin B12 and D. Eating canned fish is a practical way to add vitamins and minerals to a diet. Fatty fishes, like sardine and mackerel, are natural sources of vitamin D, allowing our body to absorb calcium. Canned sardines, for example, contain up to 10 times more calcium than fresh or frozen sardines.

Omega 3 is essential for our organism. Cold water fishes, specially sardines, are rich in Omega 3. Regular consumption of these foods can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The recommended fatty fish consumption, such as sardines or mackerel is 400g per week. That gives about 3 to 4 cans every week.

Recently A Poveira created another brand Cego do Maio, attractive cans with modern design. The same classic flavours in new recipes, honoring the heroic Póvoa do Varzim fisherman who saved so many lives in this disctrit.
