Nutritional values

It is easy to forgive the fact that tuna is relatively rich in content, as it is after all one of the best suppliers of the valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Black cumin gives it that certain kick and its essential oils are also good for a stressed stomach.

This tuna remains raw on the inside; therefore absolute freshness is important - so look out for "sushi quality" when shopping. If tuna is grilled or fried too much, it loses its juicy consistency and becomes dry.
