Seafood Giveaway | Health Food

This post was originally published as Wild Planet Seafood Giveaway by Laurel on Health Food blog.

This week I had a chance to try some canned tuna and salmon from Wild Planet Foods. What’s cool about Wild Planet is their canned seafood products are sustainably sourced from “eco-preferable fisheries.” (Check out Wild Planet’s website to learn more about their Sustainability and Fishing Methods.) I tried the albacore tuna for breakfast yesterday on a piece of sprouted grain toast and fresh arugula leaves.

I don’t typically buy canned seafood, but this tuna tasted really fresh. I love that they use sustainable fishing practices, and the product is never packed with water or oil so you don’t have to drain it. Also, it’s a healthy portion of protein and omega 3s that’s easy to store at work or at home for when you don’t have time to run to the store. The simple tuna and white bean crostini recipe included at the bottom of this post is an easy appetizer idea. Serve it on whole or sprouted grain bread or flax crackers.
