Anchovy, which is a regular menu at the table, can be roasted in a savory way with soy sauce and starch syrup, and can be used in a variety of ways, such as making broth or making fish sauce to add flavor to the food.
Anchovy, a bone-eating fish, has a calcium content of 496mg per 100g, which is higher than milk (118mg). It is also rich in nucleic acids, various proteins, and amino acids, which are essential components for bone formation. It is a particularly good food for growing children and helps prevent osteoporosis.
It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on heart health, and taurine is also good for lowering cholesterol levels and maintaining normal blood pressure. In addition, it is rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which helps brain health such as eye health, skin health, strengthening immunity, prevention of aging, and cognitive functions.
Meanwhile, various vitamins and minerals contained in anchovies are good for stabilizing nerves, such as relieving stress.
However, it is better to avoid excessive intake.
First of all, excessive intake of sodium can worsen high blood pressure, and acute gout patients should be careful because it contains a lot of purine. Calcium and iron may accumulate in the body and cause stones, so even if there is a kidney problem, it is necessary to avoid excessive intake. For adults, less than 50g per day is recommended, and choosing low-salt anchovies is also a way.
