Potassium is a very important mineral for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. It is also an electrolyte, a substance that conducts electricity in the body, along with sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium.

Sardines are named after Sardinia, the Italian island where large schools of these fish were once found. Sardines can be enjoyed fresh, but they are most commonly found canned, since they are perishable. Sardines are rich in numerous nutrients and are an incredibly rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Sardines have been found to support cardiovascular health.
