5 properties of bluefin tuna, protagonist of the premiere of Chicote's 'Battle of restaurants'

After Top Chef, are you going to eat it? and his legendary Nightmare in the Kitchen, the pioneering chef in bringing the backroom of the kitchen to television, Alberto Chicote, premiered his new program 'Batalla de restaurants' yesterday on laSexta. It is an adaptation of the TV3 program Joc de cartes, in which each delivery four restaurants compete to be the best in the city. To do this, all the teams will prepare a menu that the rest of the participants will taste, who will be in charge of evaluating the work based on categories such as cooking, product, service, price or atmosphere, a mechanic that could remind us of Come dine with me.

Without a doubt, the highlight of each delivery is the second test: each restaurant has to prepare the typical dish of its city or region. Last night's program was dedicated to Cádiz gastronomy and the participating restaurants were Ciclo, Villanos Bistró Canalla, Burlesque and Puerto Mio. And being in Cádiz, seafood products could not be missing with bluefin tuna, the protagonist of the first local culinary bite of 'Battle of restaurants', a food with multiple health properties. Did you know? Below, we explain 5 main reasons why you should choose it at the fishmonger.

Bluefin tuna stands out for its high content of fatty acids such as Omega 3. It also has a large amount of EPA and DHA acids, which reduce the formation of blood clots and regulate heart rate. That is why this product is a highly recommended product to prevent cardiovascular diseases, as well as obesity and diabetes.

It is an oily fish with 25% proteins that are easy for our body to digest. Bluefin tuna will be an ideal complement to your diet if what you want is to gain muscle mass.

Bluefin tuna has vitamin B12, which contributes to the formation of red blood cells and allows the nervous system to function properly. Group D vitamins absorb calcium and phosphorus and are crucial for bone mineralization. This fish also contains vitamin D.

This product prevents bone oxidation thanks to its high levels of selenium, which generates enzymes to prevent cellular damage, and phosphorus, which helps the formation of bones and teeth.

Magnesium helps improve concentration and prevents dizziness, migraines and cramps. It is a mineral recommended to prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
