Tuna itself is a great choice for a pâté, as it a meaty and flavourful fish, but also very nutritious! The fish contains high amounts of vitamin B12, a vitamin responsible for the production of red blood cells, and prevention of the development of anaemia. The content of omega-3 fatty acids in tuna may lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks. Tuna is a lean meat, and is a great source of protein, but is also low in calories. This means that it will help keep you full for longer, and therefore help control your diet.
This Tuna Pâté is a healthy yet delicious dish, and if you are a tuna lover yourself, we don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t want to try it out!
