Tuna, and canned seafood in general, is a convenient, affordable, nutritious and delicious way to make sure you and\u00a0your family are eating enough seafood.\u00a0 The average person does not consume the recommended amount of seafood for a balanced diet.\u00a0 In June 2014, the FDA and EPA put out a report encouraging everyone to eat at least 8\u00a0to 12 ounces (2 to 3 servings) of seafood per week.\u00a0 Sadly, most American diets fall short.<\/p>\n

One way to meet your seafood needs is to use canned tuna.\u00a0 I\u2019m not talking about the kind that is mostly water, and looks like the can is half empty.\u00a0 I really like solid white tuna.\u00a0 The Albacore variety is my favorite!\u00a0 Tuna is an excellent source of protein, is high in Selenium and Niacin, a good source of Vitamins B6 and B10, and free from Saturated Fat.\u00a0 It is so versatile to use too!<\/p>\n

Canned tuna should be one of your staple items in your to use for quick, healthy meals when you are on the run!\u00a0 Place some in a tortilla as a wrap.\u00a0 Use tuna on your lettuce salad.\u00a0 Replace the hamburger in your quesadillas with tuna for a hot, melty dish.\u00a0 The ideas are endless!\u00a0 One of my favorite invented recipes came out of shear business.\u00a0 I threw it together one morning on my way out the door for my lunch\u2014and it was terrific!\u00a0 Give it a try!<\/p>\n
