About Makrela

Makrela, or mackerel, is a highly nutritious, oily fish valued in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and Scandinavian dishes. Packed with high-quality protein, it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function. Makrela is also rich in essential nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine. These contribute to bone health, energy production, and thyroid function. Its rich, bold flavor makes it a versatile ingredient, often enjoyed grilled, smoked, canned, or as a sushi topping. However, because mackerel is an oily fish, it has a higher fat content than leaner seafood, though these are mostly healthy fats. Certain larger varieties, such as king mackerel, may contain elevated mercury levels and should be consumed in moderation, particularly by pregnant individuals. Overall, makrela is a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet.
