Since the 16th century, caviar has been dazzling the taste buds of lords, ladies, and dignitaries. In fact, this luxury item from the Caspian Sea is not only full of nutrient dense super foods, but also contains delicious and nuanced flavors.

Sustainability

Often used as a garnish or spread, caviar is made up of fish-eggs that have been salt-cured. There are many types of caviar available, including beluga, our most popular, and starlet. You’ll also find varieties such as ossetra and sevruga.   Khavyar is committed to sustainability, so you can rest easy that your farmed Beluga Siberian caviar from Italy is the finest on the market. We also feature fine quality caviar from the United States, including Sturgeon White, Sea Trout Rainbow, and many more.

Nutritional Value of Caviar

The nutritional value in one teaspoon of caviar is impressive, especially when it comes to healthy proteins. According to nutritionist Emily DeLacey, one serving typically contains 4 grams of protein, including nearly 1 gram if omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends consuming at least 1 gram of these healthy proteins in order to maintain optimal heart health.

This is great news for caviar fans, especially since 1 tablespoon of fish eggs typically contains 1 gram or more of omega-3 fatty acids, which are made of up highly unsaturated fats. Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to a variety of health benefits, including the reduction of blood clotting and lowering the risk of hardening of the arteries. Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential for reducing the risk of heart attack and blocked blood vessels.

Sexual Healing

One tablespoon of caviar also contains 3.2 mcg of Vitamin B12, a water-soluble vitamin that is often difficult to absorb, especially for those on a plant-based diet. Linda Antinoro, R.D, L.D.N., J.D., C.D.E, a senior nutritionist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, recommends consuming at least the recommended dietary allowance (RDV), which is 2.4 mcg per day. A small spoonful of caviar is an excellent source of B12, especially if you’re feeling fatigued, a common symptom of B12 deficiency.

Caviar also contains Selenium, which is an essential antioxidant that works with Vitamin E to protect cells from free radical damage, which makes it excellent for disease prevention. Known as an important trace mineral, Selenium has many health benefits, including increased cognitive function and support of a healthy immune system. Researchers have also found that Selenium is vital for healthy thyroid function. However, this is a mineral that you don’t want too much of since an excess of Selenium has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes.

Moderation Is Key

Although there are many health benefits of caviar, keep in mind that this luxury food item is also high in cholesterol and sodium, so it’s better to stay on the safe side and only eat it sparingly.
