Fresh tuna is an important source of omega-3 fats and antioxidant minerals for arterial and heart health. It is also rich in vitamin E for healthy skin. Tuna is an excellent source of protein and especially rich in B vitamins, selenium and magnesium: a small portion of tuna contains around 20 per cent of an adult daily vitamin E needs.  Tuna is also a good source of EPA and DHA fats. DHA fat is known for keeping the heart and brain healthy and in good working order.

Tuna is extremely rich in vitamin B12 for healthy blood

Fresh tuna should be odourless and is best cooked and eaten on the day of purchase

When canned in oil, water or brine, tuna loses most of its beneficial omega-3 fats
