Mr. Yang, a reader in Jiangsu, asked: When I visited the supermarket, I found that there was less fresh tuna, mud carp, etc., and more couldned, I don't know why? After being canned, are they still nutritious?

Han Dongmei, a registered nutritionist in China, replied: Tuna, mud carp and other aquatic products have a short shelf life, and if they are not eaten quickly, they are easy to deteriorate. Canned food can be stored at room temperature for a long time, which is convenient to carry, transport, and save cooking time, and can be eaten all year round. During the processing of fish, a small number of nutrients will be lost, such as vitamin B1, folic acid, etc., but protein, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals such as potassium, calcium, and iron are retained. Overall, canned fish is not badly nutritious. When buying and eating, pay attention to the following points: 1. Choose spring water instead of oil, so as not to consume too much fat, and try to choose products with low sodium content. 2. Observe whether the bottle mouth is tight, whether there is expansion, bulging cap, or scratches, rust and other phenomena on the tank. 3. Once opened, it is recommended to eat at one time, and it is best to pour it into a glass jar or enamel bowl, seal it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and eat it in 1 to 2 days. 4. Canned fish belongs to meat dishes, which can be eaten with fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
