How well do fish nutrients fuel your body?
In the study summarized here, scientists test how efficiently different fishes supply protein and fat in a simple diet. The results suggest fish are a highly usable source of nutrition, supporting the idea that fish can be a key part of a healthy diet.
The experiments evaluate several common fish, including mackerel, butterfish, grayfish, and salmon, and measure how much of their protein and fat is digested. Across the board, protein is digested at about 93%, and fat at about 95%, with small variations by species. The findings reinforce the value of fish as a nutritious, readily absorbed food when used in typical meals.
Ideal for readers of nutrition, home cooking guidance, and food science, this edition helps you understand the nutritional value of commonly eaten fish.
