How it differs from similar foods
Chunk light tuna is typically a blend of smaller pieces of tuna, often skipjack or yellowfin. It has a milder flavor and a softer texture compared to solid white tuna, which is usually albacore and comes in larger, firmer pieces. The packing in water makes it a lighter option than tuna packed in oil.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused tuna to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate promptly and consume within two days. Unopened cans can be stored in a cool, dry pantry for an extended period.
