To use, simply drain the natural juice from the can. The whole tuna can then be flaked with a fork or used in larger pieces depending on your recipe. Its firm texture holds up well when mixed with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods

After opening, store any unused tuna in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within two to three days to maintain freshness and quality. Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
