Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 nutrients. When it comes to supplementing omega, people think of salmon. Omega is extremely important for brain development in children and maintaining memory in adults, protecting the heart and preventing macular degeneration. Supplementing omega-3 is crucial to health. Therefore, finding foods rich in omega is very important. In recent years, salmon has been introduced to Vietnam as a luxury food rich in omega. But salmon is expensive and has the risk of mercury contamination.
Meanwhile, Vietnam’s sea has a type of fish called ca trich that is rich in omega-3. In one portion of salmon, it can provide up to 2,150 mg of omega-3 along with high-quality protein and other nutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, and vitamin B. Similarly, in one serving of ca trich, there is also an equivalent amount of omega-3. According to that, one portion of ca trich also has up to 2,150 mg of omega-3, not inferior to salmon. Moreover, ca trich is classified as a fish with less mercury contamination than salmon, tuna, mackerel, etc. Ca trich sold in Vietnam, caught by fishermen, has a price range of about 40-50,000 VND per kilogram locally and can reach 80-100,000 VND in the city. Frozen ca trich or canned ca trich is also cheaper than salmon. Compared to the price of salmon on the market, ca trich is only about 1/3-1/5 of the price of salmon.
Ca trich can be prepared into many delicious Vietnamese dishes
Salmon is a sophisticated dish that is not suitable for all Vietnamese people. Meanwhile, ca trich is very suitable for Vietnamese cuisine. Especially, ca trich can be eaten with the bones when cooked softly, which is ideal for calcium supplementation. Therefore, choosing ca trich is an intelligent choice that can replace the expensive salmon dish. Of course, you should not give up salmon, but to ensure your finances and nutritional aspects, you should combine and alternate between the two.
Ca trich is also a raw material used by the world to produce omega fish oil capsules.
Omega-3 is a good fatty acid for the body that helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Omega helps reduce neutral fat, increase good cholesterol, prevent stroke caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, and blood clots in the body.
Salmon is often processed in a Western way, while ca trich can be processed in many Vietnamese cooking styles such as ca trich salad, ca trich stew, grilled ca trich, ca trich with tomato sauce, crispy fried ca trich… eaten with white rice. Salmon is often used on weekends, modified dishes, or salads… sometimes not suitable for the taste of many Vietnamese people.
That is why ca trich is more convenient to use in family meals and meet the eating habits of both adults and children.
In addition to omega-3, ca trich also has many other nutrients and benefits
Ca trich provides protein: Ca trich is very rich in protein and low in calories, making it ideal for a diet to lose weight.
Ca trich is rich in antioxidants and vitamins: In ca trich, there is a rich amount of vitamin E and selenium, which are antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and reduce the harm of free radicals, anti-aging. Ca trich is also an excellent source of vitamin D, reducing the risk of dangerous diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Besides, ca trich also contains many other vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, vitamin B3, phosphorus, potassium,…
Ca trich is rich in iron to prevent anemia: Anemia is still a common condition in Vietnamese women, children, and the elderly. Eating ca trich, which is rich in high iron content, helps increase blood production in the body.
Ca trich supplements calcium for healthy bones: In addition to a high amount of calcium, the soft and small bones of ca trich can be chewed, which is good for bone health. Ca trich also contains high levels of vitamin D, which helps absorb calcium better. Therefore, ca trich supplementation is essential for adults and children.
