In Russia, tulka is considered one of the cheapest types of fish, but abroad, on the contrary, it is a delicacy. Currently, the shops sell fresh, frozen, canned and salted tulka. It can be boiled, fried. In industrial conditions, very tasty canned food is prepared from tulka, and fishmeal is also obtained from it.
The benefits of tulka
The beneficial properties of tulka for the human body are primarily due to the huge content of calcium in this fish. This element is necessary for the formation of bone tissue, the health of hair and nails, in addition, it regulates blood clotting processes.
For the absorption of calcium, phosphorus is necessary, which is also rich in tulka. These minerals are mainly concentrated not in its meat, but in its tail, bones, ridge and skin. Therefore, the tulka should be cooked whole and consumed whole, without trying to get a small amount of fillet from it.
In addition to minerals, tulka is rich in omega-3 fatty acids with pronounced antioxidant properties. Also, tulka meat contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, which lower the level of triglycerides in the blood and thus have an anti-atherosclerotic effect. Therefore, nutritionists recommend including sprat in the diet of people suffering from atherosclerosis, diseases of the cardiovascular system and joints.

The calorie content of sprat is 136.8 kcal per 100.0 g of product. It should be borne in mind that the calorie content of the tulka also depends on the method of its preparation. Boiled, baked or salted sprat has the least amount of calories, and fried - the largest.
Harm to tulka
Despite all its useful qualities, salted sprat can hardly be called a useful food product. This is due to the fact that 100.0 g of well-salted fish contains at least 1.5 g of table salt, which is 30% of the daily requirement. Therefore, salted sprat should be eaten in small quantities and not every day. This food product should be completely excluded from the diet of people suffering from kidney and cardiovascular diseases. It is best for them to eat boiled or baked tulka, which has valuable beneficial properties and does not contribute to the development of edema, an increase in blood pressure.
Canned food "Sprat in oil" is also not a healthy food product, because they contain excess oil and salt. It should be borne in mind that for the manufacture of canned food, most manufacturers use the cheapest varieties of vegetable oil, which practically do not contain vitamins and fatty acids, and, therefore, do not give a person anything except extra calories. So, for example, the calorie content of tulka in its own juice is about 200 kcal per 100.0 g of product, and the calorie content of the same amount of canned “Tulka in oil” is already 320 kcal.
