Caviar

Nutritional Value

Caviar is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious and healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, it is also high in sodium and cholesterol, which can contribute to health issues when consumed in excess.

Purchasing and Storage

Caviar can be found in specialty food stores and high-end restaurants, and is often sold at premium prices due to its rarity and exclusivity. When purchasing caviar, it is important to choose high-quality products that are free from additives or contaminants.
