The protein-rich Super Peruvian Anchovy is of great biological value because it provides proteins similar to those found in meat; contains no carbohydrates (starches and sugars); is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and B vitamins; and is a source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium and minerals like iron and zinc, nutrients that help prevent anemia and contribute to children’s growth and development. It also contains omega-3 and omega-6, essential fatty acids not produced by our body but crucial for brain function, improving eyesight, maintaining healthy skin, and preventing mental illnesses (Alzheimer’s and depression) and heart diseases associated with high cholesterol.
