What is this ingredient?

Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss for rainbow trout or Salmo trutta for brown trout) is a freshwater fish from the Salmonidae family, closely related to salmon. It is known for its tender texture, mild flavor and natural combination of protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

## Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Trout contains an average of 760 mg omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) per 100 grams, an amount that can be comparable to other oily fish. Research on fish intake, including the work of Mozaffarian & Rimm (2006), discusses the nutritional balance between nutrients such as EPA/DHA and possible contaminants within overall dietary patterns.

## Vitamin D Source

With 15.2 mcg vitamin D per 100 grams, trout makes a clear contribution to vitamin D intake. Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of normal bones and to the normal function of the immune system.

## Tryptophan and Amino Acids

Trout contains tryptophan, an essential amino acid that can act in the body as a building block for serotonin and melatonin. In nutrition research, tryptophan is often discussed in relation to meal composition, protein sources and carbohydrates, without making trout a specific sleep aid.

## Sustainability and Kitchen Use

Farmed rainbow trout scores favorably in many sustainability assessments compared with heavier animal protein sources. In the kitchen, trout is at its best with short cooking: crisping the skin in a pan, gentle grilling, steaming or baking with lemon, dill and a little butter or olive oil.

How does it taste?

Delicate, lightly sweet and nutty with a fine, tender texture.

Did you know...?

Trout can perceive the polarization of light, which helps them find food underwater.
Franz Schubert composed his famous 'Trout Quintet' in 1819, inspired by the fish.
