(More customer reviews)When I was a little girl, my mother always bought tuna packed in oil. She never bought tuna packed in water. I did not find out why until I had a tuna sandwich at school, it had no taste! There was a very faint hint of tuna flavor, but mostly what I could taste was celery, mayonnaise and bread - not tuna. From them on, I did not like tuna sandwiches, at least made from tuna packed in water.
Tuna packed in oil got harder and harder to find as people were under the impression that the water packed variety was "better" for you. Not so, according to [....] "It has been shown that tuna packed in oil mixed with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise is actually lower in fat than tuna packed in spring water and mixed with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Starting with tuna packed in oil allows people to use less mayonnaise to achieve the desired consistency and taste, thereby cutting down on fat and calories and providing a better tasting salad."
Olive oil, of all the oils, seems to be the most healthy. "Olive oil contains the monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid, antioxidants such as vitamin E and carotenoids, and oleuropein, a chemical that prevents the oxidation of LDL particles. It is these properties that are thought to contribute to the health benefits of olive oil" [...]. It's pretty tasty, too.
So now we have the best of both worlds here, tasty tuna that's good for you, too!
