The nutritional value of popular types of fish

Fish is an important component of a healthy diet. Compared to many other sources of protein, including beef, pork and chicken, certain varieties of fish are lower in calories per serving size. Plus, fish is an important source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to heart and brain health.

The American Heart Association recommends that people eat at least two servings of fish each week. Knowing how various types of fish stack up when compared to one another can help people decide which fish to include in their diets. The following is some nutritional information on some popular types of fish, courtesy of the United States Department of Agriculture. Nutritional information for raw fish is based on a standard three-ounce serving size.

• Cod: (Pacific): 70 calories, 0.54 grams fat, 15.22 grams protein

• Flounder: 78 calories, 1.02 grams fat, 16.02 grams protein

• Haddock: 74 calories, 0.61 grams fat, 16.36 grams protein

• Halibut: (Atlantic and Pacific): 94 calories, 1.95 grams fat, 17.69 grams protein

• Mahi mahi: 72 calories, 0.60 grams fat, 15.72 grams protein

• Ocean perch: 81 calories, 1.38 grams fat, 15.84 grams protein

• Salmon (farmed): 156 calories, 9.22 grams fat, 16.92 grams protein

• Tilapia: 81 calories, 1.44 grams fat, 17.07 grams protein

• Tuna: 93 calories, 0.81 grams fat, 19.89 grams protein

The way fish is prepared can alter its nutritional profile. Baking, grilling or broiling without adding fat are the most healthy ways to prepare fish. Enhance the flavor of fish with fresh herbs and citrus marinades. HM221604

‘Moove’ over beef:er beef get on board with pork

Culinary options multiply when individuals and families are open to trying different foods and recipes. There are many protein sources individuals can consider, and pork ranks highly among them. Pork is consumed worldwide and, when enjoyed in moderation, can be part of a healthy diet.

According to WebMD, ground, cooked pork comes in at roughly 297 calories for a 3.4-ounce serving. One such serving of pork offers 25.7 grams of protein and is richer in thiamine than other red meats like beef and lamb. Thiamine is a B vitamin that is vital to a range of bodily needs. Selenium found in pork is essential for thyroid function.

Pork is considered a “red” meat. Don’t let pork’s lighter coloring fool you into thinking it is closer to poultry products. Despite that classification, today’s pork has about 16 percent less fat and 27 percent less saturated fat compared to the pork of 30 years ago, according to the National Pork Board. In addition, thanks to changes in feeding practices and quality control, pig-borne trichinosis, which was once behind the well-done cooking recommendations regarding pork, has dropped to relatively nil. That means diners may be able to enjoy pork at slightly pinker temperatures than once believed. However, an internal temperature of at least 145 F for whole pork and 160 F for ground pork is recommended, according to Healthline.

Pork is quite versatile, as evidenced by its availability in many different forms. It’s amazing to think that breakfast bacon and pulled pork enjoyed at dinner is from the same animal. Pork also shines in lunch meats and specialty cured products like salami and prosciutto. In fact, a typical charcuterie board features a variety of pork products.

With that in mind, when curating food options for your own charcuterie platter, consider these ideal pork and cheese pairings that will delight guests, courtesy of the National Pork Board.

• Prosciutto with parmesan

• Aged country ham with sharp cheddar

• Salami with gouda

• Pepperoni with aged goat’s milk

• Guanciale with asiago

• Pâté with gruyere

• Mortadella with Swiss

• Pork rinds with queso fresco

Chopped bacon in cream cheese or neufchâtel also can make a tasty spread for charcuterie crackers or crostini.

Pork is a versatile meat with plenty of flavor and nutrition. It can be worked into weekly meal plans in many different ways. TF234892

Wine Dessert

& pairings

Plenty of sweethearts enjoy romantic evenings together. When the meal is through, it is prime time for something sweet. Often individuals feel they have to put away the wine from dinner and switch over to coffee or tea at this point in the meal. However, with a little knowledge of how to pair wine with dessert, revelers can continue the celebration through this final course.

According to Wine Folly, when pairing wine with dessert or other foods, the secret is to think of wine as an ingredient that will add a new flavor profile. Generally speaking, when it comes to choosing the best wines for desserts, a sweet wine

is preferable as the sweetness in the wine will match the sugar in the dessert, suggests the wine resource Vin Yang. Here are some additional pairing pointers.

• A darker dessert usually requires a darker wine, as the wine should have a similar intensity to the dessert.

• The wine should be sweeter than the food in most cases.

• The flavors in the wine should match the flavors in the food.

• Chocolate and caramel are best paired with a sweet or fruity red wine, as dry wines may taste too bitter against chocolate due to the tannins found in both the wine and chocolate. Port, Sherry, Mar-

sala, and Zinfandel are good options.

• Mild, buttery or sweet vanilla desserts work best with white wines, including sparkling wines. Muscat, off-dry Rieslings, and Prosecco are some ideas.

• Keep in mind that very sweet desserts or those with fruits, like cobblers or shortcakes, may benefit from a burst of acidity. A drier Riesling may work or a Vouvray Brut.

Those who may be unsure of how to pair their desserts with wine can always speak with a wine retailer or a trusted restaurant sommelier for suggestions on wines for an extra-special date.
