GO-TO SUGGESTIONS FOR NUTRITION MONTH
Color_Logo_Lockup_w_CanSeafood has a lot of benefits, so one of my go-to suggestions for nutrition month is to incorporate more seafood into your diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating 8 to 12 ounces of fish each week. I like Bumble Bee Solid White Albacore because it is wild-caught, Soupy_Steaky_ Full_Pagepremium quality lean protein that comes in a can or pouch, so it’s a convenient way to enjoy all the nutritional benefits of seafood. Most people don’t realize there are different species of tuna. In fact, only 5% of consumers can accurately describe the difference between solid white albacore and light tuna. Bumble Bee Albacore has a firm steaky texture and fresh taste while chunk light tuna is soupy and runny. A common misconception is that chunk light tuna is a lower calorie version of tuna but Bumble Bee Albacore is low in fat and saturated fat, high in protein and an important source of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin D, iron and selenium. I always choose Bumble Bee Solid White Albacore. It is quality, delicious lean protein you can see and taste the moment you open the can and the perfect ingredient to enhance a recipe! For me, only Bumble Bee Albacore will do.
