A nutritional powerhouse
Top 1 in Top 6 Health Benefits of Caviar
Even when served in small amounts, caviar boasts an impressive nutritional profile. A 1-ounce (28-gram) serving of caviar provides:
- Calories: 75
- Protein: 7 grams
- Fat: 5 grams
- Carbs: 1 gram
- Vitamin B12: 236% of the Daily Value (DV)
- Selenium: 34% of the DV
- Iron: 19% of the DV
- Sodium: 18% of the DV
As you can see, a single serving contains more than double the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12. Your neurological system's growth and operation, as well as the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells, depend on vitamin B12. Calcium and vitamins A, D, and E are also present in trace levels in a single serving of caviar. The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid are abundant in this delicacy (DHA). Perhaps unexpectedly, the majority of its putative health advantages are caused by these fatty acids.
