When it comes to high-protein foods, salmon is almost always at the top of the list, thanks to its reputation as a power food that is great for heart health, brain function, and skin. However, it’s not just salmon that is loaded with nutrients. Carp is also a potential candidate for daily meals with nutritional value that is just as thrilling, and at a price that is “affordable,” costing only about 1/5 the price of salmon.
Higher Protein Content than Salmon and Easier to Absorb
According to the nutritional database of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 100g of carp contains up to 22.9g of protein. The nutritional value of carp is comparable to or even exceeds some expensive seafood like salmon (22g) and tuna (21 – 23g).
Notably, research announced in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis finds that the protein in carp has a tranquil ratio of essential amino acids, making it easier to absorb compared to red meat or some types of fish. This makes carp highly nutritious for children, the elderly, or sick people in recovery—groups that need high-quality protein without putting pressure on the digestive system.
