About Tulingan

Tulingan, also known as bullet tuna or mackerel tuna, is a small pelagic fish popular in Southeast Asian cuisines, especially in the Philippines. It is commonly grilled, stewed, or braised in traditional Filipino dishes like "Paksiw na Tulingan" or "Sinaing na Tulingan." Rich in essential nutrients, tulingan is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and B vitamins, all of which support heart health, brain function, and overall wellness. Its omega-3 content may help reduce inflammation and improve cholesterol levels. However, like many types of tuna, tulingan may contain moderate levels of mercury, so consumption should be balanced, particularly for young children and pregnant individuals. When enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, tulingan is a healthy, flavorful ingredient that brings both nutritional value and cultural heritage to the plate.
