Cooking Tips
🐟 Tuna
- Sear tuna steaks for just 1-2 minutes per side for a perfect rare center.
- Canned tuna in olive oil has better flavor than water-packed.

Nutrition: High in protein and omega-3s. Canned light tuna is lower in mercury than albacore.
Storage: Use fresh tuna within 1-2 days. Canned tuna lasts 2-5 years.
🫘 Beans
- Soak dried beans overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Don't add salt until the last 10 minutes — it can toughen the skins.
