Scientific name
is Sardinella longiceps Breeds
once a year.
The
spawners arriving
off western coasts of India in
June-July when temperatures and
salinity are low during the
southwest monsoon months;
extended spawning season, but
most intense in
August-September; exact spawninq
grounds not located Sardines are
also healthy and considered a
"brain food." These tasty fish
are rich in omega 3 fatty acids,
which can help maintain a
healthy heart. Recent studies
suggest that omega 3 fatty acids
slow the progression of mild to
moderate Alzheimer's disease.
These fatty acids can also help
control blood sugar level. Not
only are sardines packed with
omega 3 fatty acids but they are
also a good source of vitamin D
and calcium..
It is a small pelagic fish with
an iridescent, silvery body and
a single dorsal fin located over
the middle of the body. The
linear bony ridges on its gill
cover distinguish this species
from other members of the
herring family. While Pacific
sardines can grow to 35.5 cm (14
inches) long and weigh between
100 grams (4 ounces) and 500
grams (1 lb), in 2001 the
harvested sardines in British
Columbia, weighed an average of
150 grams (1/3 lb) and measured
an average standard length of 23
cm (9 inches). The flesh of the
sardine is pink in colour and
has a fine, soft texture. With a
high fat content, it has a
stronger and heavier flavour
than whitefish species.
A real world approach to your
health: many drug interactions
and side effects can not be
detected when drugs are
approved. They may be found only
after the drugs have been used
by millions of people and for a
long time. Large, long-term
studies of adverse incidents are
able to discover these real
world drug outcomes. However,
these studies were impossible to
be run by health professionals
or patients before
HealthMe.

Well, at our house, we mainly
eat foods we know aren't bad for
us. It's much easier to look at
a particular food and ask,
“Could this be bad for us?”
rather than to try to puzzle out
its exact nutritional value.
That said, when we run across a
particular food that we find
just absolutely wonderful, we
really can’t help but share it
with friends and family members.
We like to do this especially if
the food is unusual or most
people have preconceived notions
about it.
As outlined above, sardines
generally get a bad rap and
negative comments from people
who, in reality, don't know what
they're talking about.
Before actually trying them, our
preconceived notions led us to
think that sardines would be
scaly, pungent, and
overwhelmingly fishy flavored.
To our happy surprise, Vital
Choice sardines are anything
but. They have a texture very
similar to canned tuna or salmon
and are excellent when spread on
crackers.
Flavor-wise, these sardines are
slightly spicy with a hint of
red pepper (we ordered the
"spicy" variety). Vital Choice
sardines are also canned in
extra-virgin olive oil, which
adds to the flavor and
nutritional value.
We definitely advise anyone
looking for a healthy snack food
to try sardines. The
overwhelming health benefits
aside, for us the taste says it
all.
