Wasting canned tuna oil is a shame because, as research confirms, it is safe and rich in properties. Here are some ideas to recycle it

How many of us when they open one can of tuna drain theoil throwing it in the kitchen sink? Probably most. A very wrong habit for two reasons: first because the oil should be properly disposed of and not thrown down the drain, second because it is in all respects a olive oil (in some references also extra virgin) and therefore of a precious food that would not go wasted.

Canned tuna oil is good: research confirms this

A Research recently by the Experimental Station for the Food Preserves Industry (SSICA) of Parma, carried out on behalf of the National Association of Fish and Tuna Conservers (ANCIT), analyzed olive oil present in 80 gram canned tuna samples ready for consumption, keeping them at 3 different temperatures (4 °, 20 ° and 37 °) and observing the variations in a reference period of 13 months in which tests on oxidation, sensory analysis and analysis of the acid profile of fats were carried out .

The results did not show any alterations, on the contrary, they showed in the oil in contact with the tuna a increase in polyunsaturated fats, in particular compounds of acids Omega 3 fats (DHA) and of Vitamin D (cholecalciferol), naturally not present in olive oil, retaining good characteristics in terms of tasting, aroma, flavor and color. This is because the sterilization conditions to which it is subjected provide temperatures that do not compromise the organoleptic and nutritional properties, and do not cause oxidation. So canned tuna oil would be good and safe that, if you don't want to consume it all with tuna, it can be reused as a condiment or ingredient of a plate.

Orange to drain

Centrifuge the orange zest and the oil you get from it will be a cure-all for swollen legs and feet. In fact, the peel of oranges contains many antioxidants, including hesperidin, a molecule with powerful draining effects.

Lemon zest for salting

Yes you got it right, you can use lemon zest instead of salt! Only if you have followed this process though! Take some organic lemons, cut them into 4 wedges and put them in a jar. Cover everything with coarse salt, fill well without leaving empty spaces and close the jar tightly. Leave it in the pantry for two months, after which only the peel will remain, because the salt will have completely dried the lemon. At this point you can use it cut into small pieces to give flavor to risotto, white meats, soups and fish dishes.
