I am in close daily contact with someone who has my best interests at heart but can’t abide sardines for reasons connected with the disease “food prejudice.” I am recommending this item to that person:
Dr. Bowden [author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth] calls [sardines] “health food in a can.’’ They are high in omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.
He suggests what packed in — olive or sardine oil — and how to eat them — “plain, mixed with salad, on toast, or mashed with dijon mustard and onions as a spread.”
I like them — no, make that love them — plain, thank you.
