Sandwiches with red caviar are a common thing. This is how the delicacy is most often served at a festive table and in other circumstances.

From the point of view of nutritionists, this is not the best option, and all because overeating red caviar is harmful to health.

Nutritionist Victoria Beznebeeva told Vechernyaya Moskva in an interview about the best way to serve red caviar at a festive table.

What is red caviar

This is not just a delicacy or a symbol of prosperity and well-being on the New Year's table.

Caviar contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it beneficial for the health of the heart, blood vessels and in reducing the level of “bad” cholesterol.

But this does not mean that for the purpose of disease prevention you can eat the delicacy with spoons.

It is important to remember that this is a high-calorie, high-fat product.

In addition, caviar contains salt, the excess of which is also harmful.

Therefore, abuse of this product will cause more harm to the heart, and at the same time problems with extra pounds will arise.

Daily norm

Without harm to health, an adult can eat about 20-30 grams of salmon caviar per day.

The same rule applies to table times.

How to serve

However, sandwiches and tartlets are not the best way to serve and eat the delicacy. It would be healthier to add caviar to salads, the specialist sums up.

For reference

Caviar is the eggs of female fish, amphibians, mollusks, echinoderms, and some other animals that are laid in water. The eggs are spherical in shape, but can also be ellipsoidal.
