About Toro
Toro, or fatty tuna, is a prized cut of bluefin or bigeye tuna often featured in Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi and sashimi. Found in the belly portion of the fish, it is known for its rich flavor and buttery texture, making it a delicacy in many high-end dining experiences. Nutritionally, Toro is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. However, due to its high fat content compared to leaner tuna cuts like Akami, it is more calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation if maintaining a low-fat diet. Additionally, concerns about mercury levels in tuna suggest mindful consumption is key, especially for vulnerable populations. Toro’s luxurious taste and nutritional benefits make it a unique indulgence within balanced eating habits.
