Anchovies is a type of fish that may not be so familiar for many. Anchovies are small silvery fish that live in Mediterranean Sea and off the coast of Southern Europe. They often come in a small can covered with oil, and have a big flavour for such small fish. Because they're so strong in taste, only a small amount of anchovy is needed to add flavour.
Anchovies are very beneficial for your health for multiple reasons: they are very high in protein content, they are packed with significant B-vitamins, they are a good source of healthy fats, as well as other nutrients e.g. calcium, selenium and niacin. All these nutrients supports your health including muscles, nerve cells and immune system functions, eyevision, cellmembranes and bone density, and protects you from Cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.
