3. Wild Alaskan canned salmon

Price: $14.99, 6-pack

As you probably noticed, salmon is a health celebrity in many of our posts—and it most definitely deserves the fame. First of all, salmon has omega-3 fatty acids that are crucial for our overall health. Second of all, this super fish is a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. However, not all types of salmon are created equal, so selecting the good ones from the bad ones can be quite difficult sometimes.

Now that we know this piece of information… how can we tell the difference between wild and farmed salmon? The biggest difference between the two is the color. Wild Alaskan salmon stands out with deeper red color than farmed. Plus, wild salmon is  seasonal, being only available in the summer.

So, in order to enjoy its benefits all year round, we recommend you purchase the Wild Alaskan canned salmon from Costco. Zarabi loves this product adding that “wild salmon is higher in omega-3s than their counterparts and [they] also eat a more natural diet as they swim freely in the waters of Alaska.”
