What to look for when buying tuna: Chunk, light tuna is preferred to albacore in canned or pouched tuna. Albacore is slightly higher in mercury.
Storing: Unwrap fresh tuna when you get home and pat dry with paper towel. Wrap in plastic and place on the lowest shelf in your fridge.
Using: Grill or broil tuna steaks. Or use canned or pouched tuna in salads or in pasta dishes for a quick meal rich in omega-3s.
*Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of several cardiovascular problems.
