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.
🍋 Lemon
- Roll a lemon on the counter before juicing to get more juice out.
- Zest before juicing — it's much easier when the lemon is whole.
- A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens almost any savory dish.
