November 24: Challenge Perceptions on National Sardines Day

Sardines are not just for pizza! Referring to various small saltwater fish, sardines are often associated as the least-favorite pizza topping or a snack stored in tins. Many enjoy the mild flavor and nice texture while some may not have tried them yet. National Sardines Day arose to highlight the many options of this food that is rich in vitamins and minerals-especially B2 vitamins.

Variations can include sardines on toast for quick appetizer recipes or pasta dishes for family dinner recipes. They can also appear in salads or remain a snack on their own. People may be turned off by the smell or preconceptions about sardines, but reintroducing them through these recipes may give sardines a new consideration. Attempt them today and you too may rethink sardines!
