We are talking about trout, a fish product that can have various origins but which in Italy is mainly lake. It is in fact possible to find it in the regional kitchens of territories that do not have an outlet to the sea, such as Piedmont. Being mainly bred, it can be bought more or less at any time of the year. However, it is not among the most purchased examples, because it has a very particular flavor that does not suit all palates. However, what not everyone knows is that it is a veritable mine of vitamins and minerals.
In particular, those belonging to group B stand out in the first category, which are very important for a correct functioning of the metabolism. In the second, potassium is very important, a key element for good heart health. In fact, we have already seen that symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness and changes in mood could be due to the lack of this precious element. The same goes for phosphorus, which is present in good quantities and is very beneficial for the bones. Finally, the percentage of omega 3 is also excellent, which is also a useful fat for cardiovascular health. There are no known contraindications in the consumption of this food, but it could trigger allergies. This is why it is always best to consult with your GP.
