5 Reasons to Try Canned Sardines Today!
Nutritious, convenient and versatile, canned sardines make it easier to serve satisfying seafood at home or on the go.
1. A Nutrition Powerhouse
Sardines are the nutritional unsung heroes that contain important nutrients your body needs like protein, omega-3s, vitamin D, calcium, iron, among others, and are low in saturated fat and free of trans fat. Sardines may help improve heart health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. They’re also the go-to weight management protein choice for anyone aiming to build strength and muscle. Diets rich in seafood are believed to support healthy cell development and longevity.

Great Source of Lean Protein!
Protein is important for repairing muscles and for a healthy immune system. As part of a meal, protein provides fullness, sustained energy, and stabilizes blood sugar. Brunswick Sardines and Sardine Fillets are all high in protein.
Source of Omega-3 Unsaturated Fats
Omega-3 unsaturated fats in fish lower the risk of heart disease and strokes. Additionally, they may support cognitive functions, reduce blood triglycerides, promote healthy blood vessels and guard against cellular damage. Brunswick Sardines and Sardine Fillets are all sources of omega-3 unsaturated fats.
Low in Saturated Fat & Free of Trans Fat
Sardines are naturally low in saturated fat and most are completely free of trans fat. Adding this fish to your diet can be a heart healthy choice as part of a balanced diet.
Source of Vitamins & Minerals
Vitamin D is a nutrient that plays many roles in your health. It helps your body absorb calcium and builds strong bones and teeth. While you can receive some vitamin D from sunlight, factors such as age and seasonality make it hard to determine how much you are receiving. Otherwise, there are not many other ways to increase your vitamin D intake outside of eating seafood, some dairy products, and supplements. Brunswick Sardines and Sardine Fillets Seafood Snacks are a source of Vitamin D for any healthy diet.
Sardines are also a source of minerals like calcium, which aids in the formation and maintenance of bones; selenium, a dietary antioxidant involved in the formation of a protein that defends against oxidative stress; and potassium and iron, which are necessary for maintaining good health.
2. Cost & Convenience
Brunswick Sardines and Sardine Fillets Seafood Snacks are an affordable option that’s great for your wallet. They come ready-to-eat straight from the can and are easy to pack for a post-workout snack and for road trips, hikes, camping and picnics.
3. Shelf Life Reduces Waste
Canned sardines are cooked in a hermetically sealed can and subjected to high heat that kills bacteria and preserves the fish, at its peak point, for a three-to-five-year shelf life. This helps reduce waste, making high-quality seafood easily accessible in your pantry.
