health benefits

 

salmon with riceThe many health benefits of wild Alaskan red (sockeye) salmon are well known:

Low in saturated fat

Wild salmon is a great source of protein, and it is significantly lower in saturated fats than beef, or almost any other popular meat product.

Omega-3

And salmon is high in Omega-3, which is known to help prevent heart disease. Evidence also links Omega-3 fatty acids with lower levels of certain types of cancer, and with resistance to depression, memory loss, Alzheimer’s, and other medical conditions.

"Omega-3 fatty acids have so many biological roles because they are a primary element of health for virtually every cell and organ system in the body. Along with their partners, the omega-6 fatty acids, they keep our bodies in balance, modulating such basic physiological functions as inflammation, cell signaling, blood pressure, immune response, and the electrical excitability of heart and brain cells." Andrew Stoll, Faculty, Harvard Medical School

Drug-free Wild Salmon

Wild salmon is, of course, free from growth hormones, biocides, artificial colorants, reprocessed animal feeds, and other non-natural treatments.

The Natural Color of Wild Salmon

The beautiful red flesh of wild Alaskan red (or Sockeye) salmon comes from carotenoids in the fish’s diet, specifically from algae, shrimp, and other fish.

Low Levels of Contaminants in Wild Salmon

Wild red salmon is approved for pregnant women and nursing mothers. It does not contain significant PCB levels. In fact most beef, as well as most other commercial seafoods, have higher PCB levels than wild salmon. It is also low in mercury.

If it is Alaskan, it’s Wild.
