How to Eat Canned Sardines (REMOVE THE FEAR)

Add to that the fact that a can of sardines contains 22.6 grams of protein and you have a winning ingredient worth having in your kitchen and incorporating into your meal plan. However eating them straight from the can might not be your idea of a good time and sardines can often be a bit too bland. Like other canned foods sardines have great potential to be used in a variety of dishes and treats. With a little inspiration you might find that canned sardines will become your go-to ingredient for breakfast lunch and dinner.

This crowd-pleaser is known for its earthier toppings so when you think of pizza you probably think of pizza's BFF pepperoni. Canned fish is an unusual choice when it comes to pizza toppings but like pepperoni it's rich and fatty so it's no surprise that it works well on a tasty pizza base.

Unlike pepperoni which is loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol sardines add healthy omega-3 fatty acids to your favorite pasta dish giving your heart a healthy boost without sacrificing flavor.
