Carp: A Nutritional Powerhouse at a Fraction of the Cost
When it comes to high-protein foods, salmon often takes the spotlight for its heart-healthy fats and brain-boosting properties. However, there’s an underrated rival in the protein world—carp. This affordable fish, costing only 1/5 the price of salmon, offers outstanding nutritional benefits, especially in protein and essential minerals.
Higher Protein Content Than Salmon
According to the USDA, 100g of carp contains up to 22.9g of protein, which is equal to or even more than:
Salmon: ~22g
Tuna: 21–23g
Research from the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis reveals that the protein in carp has a balanced ratio of essential amino acids, making it easier to digest than red meat or some fish. This makes it ideal for:
✅ Children
✅ Elderly individuals
✅ People recovering from illness
