canned tuna: oil or water.

what's the difference?

which is healthier?

1. The difference (to me) is taste

If you're mixing with mayo, oil is gross. If you're just eating it, oil's okay. I have no idea which is healthier.

2. Italian solid light tuna in olive oil

This is the brand I buy:



"The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances." (http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/olive-oil.htm)

And my favorite part about this particular brand of tuna is that it's extremely flavorful, while some of the water-paced tunas have a "fishy" taste IMHO....

:toast:

ON EDIT: NO, you don;t mix this one with mayo. You drain some of the olive oil and serve it "as is" on a good roll or fresh Italian / French bread.

5. Right -- the stuff packed in oil is for some uses, the water packed stuff is for tuna with mayo.

The olive oil packed tuna is good on an antipasto platter, in salade nicoise, cannelini and tuna salad, or quick cooked dishes.

3. Water

Only water.
