In this previous post we talked about the properties of fish, and we gave some ideas to facilitate the approach of children to a very healthy food.
Today I would like to talk to you specifically of cod: fish of very appreciated flavor and texture, which turns out to be suitable for the whole family. Its lean and low-fat meat can make it an ally of infant feeding. But it is also a product rich in vitamins and minerals. The cod is characterized by a marked presence of potassium and phosphorus: both are involved in the functioning of the nervous system and muscular activity, phosphorus (in addition) is present in bones and teeth.
This fish gives us benefits from the nutritional point of view, and among them (in addition to those mentioned) we find the reduced presence of saturated fats
I have one more argument that will just convince you about the suitability of cod: as they tell us in the Spanish Heart Foundation, they are naturally found in it three important nutrients that are not always found in other foods: vitamin D, selenium and omega 3.
Selenium is essential for the integrity of the cells, as it participates in its protection against agents that can oxidize them and, therefore, destroy it. This mineral is not abundant in many foods, but instead, only 200 grams of cod cover 60 to 70 percent of the recommended daily amount of selenium
As you all know, this fish is white, although it is assimilated to blue when presented in salted fish (since the process increases the amount of fat). It is much better to consume it fresh and allows us to diversify the presentation.
We all know desalted cod croquettes, although you have to know that You can also prepare an omelette with fresh cod, fried and crumbled. How about adding it to the salad? And next to some vegetables with vegetables ?. The most daring you can try to make this cod branded puff pastry with roasted peppers presented by Unodedos Live to the Palate, it would be a delicious meal for a Sunday right?
As for the taste, the kids may like it better when it is baked or part of the croquettes, but Grilled steaks can be delicious with a good sauce.
