If we ever want to make dish using canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil,
then we should know more information about this product. Especially since many
canned tuna products are presented in the market by the factories. We want to
use canned tuna flakes in our dish because this product is very versatile thus
many dishes can be made using the same ingredient. This is the change that is
taken by the factories to create many kinds of canned tuna flakes products and
sold it. But we should not be afraid since most of those factories are only
making the same products but sold it using different brand.
Difference of Canned Tuna Flakes in Vegetable
Oil vs. Water
Actually all of those factories are only
making two categories of canned tuna flakes products, thus it is actually very
easy to differentiate them. First category is the light canned tuna flakes
product while the second category is the white canned tuna flakes. Now let us
learn about how to differentiate those two categories.
1.
Liquid
As we all know that all canned
tuna flakes product is using special liquid inside the can to immerse the
flakes. The light canned tuna flakes is actually canned tuna flakes in water
which uses water as the liquid to immerse the flakes. Meanwhile the white canned
tuna flakes is actually canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil which uses vegetable oil as the liquid to immerse the
flakes. And since the flakes on white canned tuna flakes category is immerse
inside vegetable oil, and then it will have more calories and fat content
compared to the light canned tuna flakes category.
2.
Tuna species
We might never think about
this, but actually canned tuna flakes products are made using different tuna
species. The light canned tuna flakes category is made using either skipjack
tuna species or yellowfin tuna species. But the white
canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil category are only made using
albacore tuna species.
3.
Flakes color
When we open the can, then
we can see that the flakes color inside is actually have very different flakes
color. The light canned tuna flakes category has dark red color flakes with
some tan tint. The white canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil category have white color flakes with some pink tint. This
type of flakes color is actually considered to be best for canned tuna flakes.
4.
Taste and consistency
Of course, when we try
those canned tuna flakes categories, they will also have different taste and
consistency. The light canned tuna flakes category has stronger taste with soft
consistency, these tuna flakes will reminds you to chicken thighs flakes. Meanwhile
for white canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil
categories have milder taste with firm consistency; these tuna flakes will
reminds you to chicken breast flakes. Actually more people love the taste and
consistency that white canned tuna flakes have, this is why more factories also
make this canned tuna flakes categories to be sold.
5.
Nutrition content
Since both canned tuna
flakes categories are made using tuna fish, then both categories will also
contain similar nutrition. Especially for the omega 3 nutrition which search by
many people that want to make dish using canned tuna flakes. The reason is
because we already know that this unsaturated fat is good for body development,
growth and brain. But among both canned tuna flakes categories, then white canned
tuna flakes category have more omega 3 content.
If we decide to make dish using white canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil,
then we should remember to limit it only one portion dish for every two week
because of mercury content.
