It also works well as a base for tuna patties or as a topping for crackers and crostini. Its mild flavor makes it adaptable to many culinary styles.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike tuna packed in oil, this variety is preserved in its own natural juices. This results in a lighter flavor and texture, making it a good choice for those who prefer a less rich taste or want to control the amount of added fat in their meals.

After opening, transfer any unused tuna to a sealed container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within two days to ensure freshness and quality. Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
