WEBVTT - TNC Review: Canned Tuna 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.360 We normally find that people sit in two camps, those 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.440 that love tuna and those that hate it. So today, 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.120 for our tuna lovers, this episode. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:10.080 Is for you. Hi. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.440 I'm Leanne Wood and I'm Susie Burrow and it's two 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.800 of Austraya's leading dieticians. We bring you the Nutrition Couch 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.040 Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and old 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.239 favorites that you can find at the supermarkets. So on 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.560 today's episode of Team Tuna, we chat through three different 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.800 types of tunas and why we would and wouldn't. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:29.800 Recommend them for our clients. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.920 So I thought we dived straight and Susie with the 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.760 first one, which I have chosen as the John West 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.480 Tempters Mango Chili tuna. So John West is a very 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.200 popular Aussie brand of tuna. I mustay, I'm probab gonna 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.400 say it's probably the most popular on the market. I 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.560 know you're not a big tuna fan, but I myself 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.600 quite like tuno. I use it regularly for my clients, 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.440 and John West is one of the most popular. I 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.800 would say, I think it's just because it's been, you know, 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.560 heavily marketed, so people recognize it as sort of like 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.000 you know, one of the bigger ones within that section, 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.080 so I had to do something from their range, and 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.800 I went with the mango chili because you know, living 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.720 in Australia, it's all about mango season right now, I'm 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.480 obsessed with right are you eating lots of mango? 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.360 I just got to live at a tray of Kensington mango. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.160 So thanks Pervisent, though is I were fantastic. I'm a 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.119 massive mango fan. I have to say, Leanne, I'm loving 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.800 your choices today. I'm learning something about tuna, so I'm 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.120 not the best tuna fan myself. I do love my 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.440 clients to have it, though, so this is very educational 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:24.720 for me. 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:25.959 So thanks. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.800 I've gone with a flavored one and you'll see wine 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.759 a second. So this one generally retails for two dollars seventy, 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.000 but it was on sale this week at Colls for 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.720 a dollar thirty five, so Johns is more of one 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.800 of the most one of the more expensive ones in 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.520 the range. I would say in terms of tin tuna, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.440 so all of the ones with Joe'sen today are the 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.720 smaller ninety five gram tins, so generally pretty good for 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.320 like a single serve of proteins A for lunch as 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.200 an easy kind of lunch option. I generally use the 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.280 small tinns for my clients at lunch. So this one, now, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.440 I must also say that it's very hard. I haven't 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.920 come across one yet, SUSI to find a tin tuna 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.800 that is from Australia. So all three of the ones 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.880 today have been made in Thailand unfortunately, because I just 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.799 couldn't come across one that was Asi made. So if 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.480 we look at the ingredients, it is forty four percent 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:18.480 pure seen called skipjack tuna, followed by water rehydrated diced mango, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.720 thirteen percent, sunflower oil, mango chili seasoning which contains wheat 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.360 chili at one point five percent, followed by salt, dried capsicum, sugar, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.520 garlic powder, natural flavor and natural color. So an interesting 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.800 ingredient panel or nothing too, I guess controversial in there. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.280 But let's go through the nutrition information panel because for me, Susie, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.280 that was the one that really hit home in terms 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.760 of if I would or wouldn't recommend it for my clients. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.079 So per serving, which is a ninety five gram tin, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.200 energy wise we have about five hundred and twenty kilodules 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.880 twelve point five grams of protein, which if I'm being honest, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.640 is on the low side for a tin of tuna. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.160 I generally like my clients up over fifteen grad of 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.920 protein per tin, if not closer to twenty grams if 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.680 I can, especially if they're training and exercising. Fat wise, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.919 we have five point one grams of fat, with point 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.760 seven grams being saturated, so very good fat profile, with 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.000 two point nine grams being poorly unsaturated and one point 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.200 four grams being mono unsaturated. Now we've got six point 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.320 four grams of carbohydrate with five point three grams of 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.800 added sugar, which you know is kind of unusual in 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.440 a tin of tuna, which is kind of why I 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.640 chose this one, because it does have the added sugar 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.760 in there. Some that's coming from the mango, and some 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.720 of that is a little bit of added sugar as well. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.480 Into the product. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.600 We've got just less than a gram of fiber and 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.520 four hundred and twenty eight milligrams of sodium, not insignificant 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:42.560 in a tin of tuna. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:47.040 Suzi, No, I'm sort of sitting middle ground here because obviously, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.040 of all the lunch choices that we can find, tin 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.800 fish is a great source of protein. It's a great 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.400 source of amiga three fat. Not as high as salmon, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.120 I will say, being a salmon ambassador, But you know, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.920 I look at this ingraded list and it's pretty clean 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.360 on the whole. You know, there's not really any artificial 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.960 additives or flavor enhancers. Yes, there's a bit added sugar. Indeed, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.400 it's probably not something that I routinely encourage my clients 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.160 to check, but now I absolutely would because I don't 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.559 want twelve grams of protein, which isn't overly high land, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.920 going in with five grams of sugars. I just don't 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.800 need that with lunch choices. So for me, based on that, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.960 it does sit middle ground, because really I sort of 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.240 like a protein surf to be close to twenty and 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.760 I usually sort of default just to a tuna in 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.880 spring water or drained in olive oil. So yeah, I 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.240 probably do need to pay a bit more attention to 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.760 these kind of additives going in, and I certainly don't 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.839 need you know, sunflower oil and sugars going in with 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.279 the tuna. I'm not overly concerned about the sodium with 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.680 tin fish because for me, the benefits outweigh the negatives 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.800 in having tin fish, and it's like all tin food, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.120 it will have added sodium. So yes, it's not low, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800 but I'm not horrified at that number. I think it's 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.120 pretty good to make it palatable. But I'm a bit 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.240 disappointed that the protein's only coming in at twelve point five. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.440 I would have really liked it to be up closer 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.160 to eighteen percent. And based on that, I will certainly 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.080 be saying to my clients, now, look, I don't want 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.480 sweet flavors being added to the tuna. I have a 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.400 quick scan of those lists. But is that something that 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.800 you have sort of pointed clients towards. So have you 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.920 been that specific with them? 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.599 Absolutely, I always say look for a tin of tuna 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.000 with a high protein amount and very little added sugar 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.320 if any. So I much prefer to add the flavor 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.520 in what I'm adding the tuna into. So if it's 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.919 a salad, we'll add the flavor in there through maybe 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.279 some some fats like avocado ands and balsamic vinegar. Maybe 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.080 if it's a wrap, will add a little bit of cheese. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.560 I'll add some I don't know, chili sauce or something 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.080 like that some there, So chuck. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.479 Something in the chuck something in there. You know it's late. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.800 It's late on a Sunday night. Is this nine pms 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.680 a Sunday night? I was struggling for our words here. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.000 I've exceeded my caffeine for today. So you're doing very 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:02.920 relying on doing better. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.240 Because as a reference, like the brands that I usually 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.039 refer to, or say, for example, a tuna in olive 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.400 all drained, yeah, they're closer to say eighteen brands, so 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.039 that you know is rushing off of that. But what 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.880 I also will say from a cost perspective, right, like 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.039 you found these half price, which is great, and tuna 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.560 tins are often half priced, but if you're paying full 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.520 freight for these, so it's two dollars seventy for quite 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.880 a small tin and two dollars seventy for just twelve 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.800 grams of protein, when you could pay that for full 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.080 strength stuff and be getting eighteen, it's a much smartest 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.160 spend to get as high a protein content as possible 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.760 rather than these flavors which are basically adding sort of 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.840 stuff you don't need instead of selling it at a high 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.440 price point. So for me, if you're paying for protein, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.880 you want as much as you can get and twelve 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.680 is not cutting it for me in terms of a 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:50.839 lunch choice one hundredcent. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.880 I'd rather get a tuna in spring rod or olive 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.080 oil like you said, and add some freshman go into 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.040 my sale it along with it, and that way you're 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.520 getting that same taste, but you're getting the boost in protein, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.040 which we is really important metabolically. So definitely not one 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.640 that I would recommend, SUSI, purely based on the fact 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.880 that it's low protein and it has added sugars which 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.840 we just don't really want in a tin of tuna 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:10.320 or need. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.320 I would say it's a great thing to draw awareness to. 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:15.280 I think it's really good. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.200 And then the second product that I've got today is 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.520 a Coals brand one and really cost effective, Susie. It's 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.720 a Coals branded Mexican style tuna. They retail for ninety 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.640 cents per ninety five gram tin. So I just don't 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.680 think that you can beat a good old home brand 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.000 a couple of tins of tuna in the pantry as 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.080 a massive pantry staple. And I would honestly eat china 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.840 a couple of times a week in a wrap, in 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.360 a salad, maybe even putting it into like a toasted 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.320 sandwich with a bit of cheese and tomato and stuff 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.440 and just put it into the toasted sandwich maker. I 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.840 just find it a really really affordable and healthy source 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.800 of protein just so easy. I don't like cooking protein 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.840 for lunch a lot of the time, so tuna or 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.920 a bit of tofu into a nonstick panna is my 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.040 easy go to. So this one is also unfortunately made 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.640 in Thailand. And when we look at the ingrideless it's 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.560 got thirty nine percent skip jack tuna, twenty percent tomato 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.760 spring water, followed by a tomato paste at eight percent, 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.640 pickled jalapino chili's green capsicum, red kidney beans at five percent, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.240 sweet corn at five percent, salt, cuman xanthium gum and 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:18.920 that's the last ingredient. And that it says the skip 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.320 tuna is caught in the wild in the Western and 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.320 Central Pacific oceans using methods that reduce by capch So 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.000 I think they're sort of mentioning a farming sort. 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.200 Of Yeah, there's like a certain interest in farming practices, 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.520 and rightly so for all sort of sustainable seafood. What 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.600 I do know is is whilst there are more boutique 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:42.280 tuna brands that are perhaps more environmentally regulated, they're also 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.280 at a much higher price point. So Leanna and I 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.960 want to be very clear here, we're purely reviewing the nutritionals. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.480 We're not sitting here for an environmental perspective. Not that 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.760 we don't think that's important, it's just not what our 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.760 messaging is about. So this is purely based on the 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.400 nutritionals of these products as opposed to an opinion on 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.000 the farming and tuna involved. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.520 One hundred percent. That's a great point. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.280 And from a budget perspective, because we know we've received 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.920 thousands of responses in the survey that we put out 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.760 on Instagram the other day, so thank you so much 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.200 if you filled that in. And budgeting was a huge 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.680 concern from the majority of our listeners. So to provide 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.600 you guys with budget friendly options is really what our 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.640 top priority and top goal is at the moment. And 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.360 if you want to take that one step further and 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.199 look at some of the most environmentally friendly options, then 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.480 by all means, please do that. So this one, as 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.199 I said, yet ninety cents per tin colls Mexican style tuna. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.760 When we look at the ingredient panel, so per ninety 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.400 five gram tin. The energy is only just shy of 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.320 three hundred killer jeels. Only seventy calories per tin, so 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.800 very low. Now we've got eleven point three grams of protein, 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.760 so again, Susie, really low for a tin of Tunao 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.320 points seventy five grams of fats, extremely low fat, four 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.880 point six grams of carbohydrate. Only a tiny bit of 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.280 carbohydrate coming in through the kidney beans in the corner. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.680 I would imagine two hundred and seventy three milligrams of sodium, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.480 so almost half the John West one. And it's also 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.040 listed amigasree content just shy of zero point two. So 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.959 I know this one's incredibly low, Susie, but I chose 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.439 it for two reasons. One it's very budget friendly, and two, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.360 I find that you're either a tin tuna person or 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.560 you're not. And I find I've had this one and 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.120 it's quite tasty. It has a lovely Mexican taste between 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.880 the tomatoes and the black beans and the little just 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.120 a touch of chili, a little bit of Capsican, a 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.160 little bit of corn in there, like there's some added 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.600 vegetables in there, and I really like that. And it 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.760 doesn't have an overly like fishy tuna taste to it. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.920 So if you're someone who's not a big tuna fan, 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.400 or you kind of want to get into maybe trying 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.560 a little bit of tin tuna here and there, I 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.600 find that this is a great one a from a 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.440 budget perspective and be from an ingredient perspective to start 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.480 on to kind of get you used to that tin tuna. Like, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.680 put this into a rap with a little bit of 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.520 cheese or avocado, put it in the toasted sandwich maker, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.720 and it really masks that fishiness taste of the tuna. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.320 So I recommend this one to clients who don't love 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.120 tin tuna, but they're like, look, leanne, I'm open to try. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.240 Can you give me a recipe? 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.080 Or it might taste good, or I might use it 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.120 in like a pasta bake with a tup of rocotta, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.160 a little bit of extra veggies and a bit of 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.280 tomato paste sprink or some cheese on top of baked 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.120 in the oven. I really don't want to have that 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.600 strong fishy taste coming through. So although it's low protein, 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.760 if we can pair it with something like a bit 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.360 of cheese or rocotta or some like chickpea based pasta, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.280 we can actually boost the protein of the overall meal. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.520 And I feel like, from a budging perspective, this is 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.600 such a good one. I can't go past but I 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.600 am well aware that it is low protein, so I 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.280 will pair it with something else, maybe into a salad 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.640 with some extra beans, maybe into a wrap with some 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.560 cheese or rocotta, to really boost that overall protein content. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.480 One hundred percent. You know, it sits in the middle ground. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.160 But from a priced perspective, whenever we look at trolleys 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.760 that come in under a certain price point, literally the 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.000 only way you can get protein rich meals in for 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.920 a family is to include at least a couple of 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.840 vegetable based meals and a tuna sort of mornee tuna 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.520 patty type dish. So for families who are feeding you know, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.679 several children, knee quick and easy meals like you described. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.480 You know, teeming this up as part of a mixed 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.600 meal is extremely cost effective and you know, overall pretty good. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.640 Sure it's got a little bit of additives, but compared 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:14.839 to fast food take away, you know, frozen fish that's 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.440 a lot more processed, this is going to be one 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.960 hundred times better. And you know, it's what is that 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.640 a quarter a third of the cost of sort of 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.800 a name brand with a similar profile. So from a 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.200 price perspective, and I think for families and making family 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.760 mixed meals, I probably wouldn't use it as much as 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.640 lunch choice myself. In recommendations, I'd probably go for the 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.520 largest serve and use it in mixed meals as a 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.400 base to some of those foods. But certainly it can 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.080 have a place if you're on a type budget and 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.800 you're still getting some really good stuff from it. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.040 And honestly, it's very little additives. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.680 Most of it's whole food ingredients like tuna, tomato water, 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.960 spring water, tomato paste, chili, capsica, and red kidney beans, corn, salt, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.120 and cumin are fine. The last one is just sent 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.560 pink gum. It's a very last ingredient, and I very 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.320 much imagine it's just in there as a little bit 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.000 of like a stable. So for me, I'd say that's 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.000 ninety five percent really clean ingredient list. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.040 And the sodium is pretty low, like less than three 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.559 hundred milligrams for sort of one one hundred is actually 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.080 quite low for any kind of tin food. So yeah, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.000 I'm with you one hundred percent. I would, you know, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.000 give it a seven out of ten. I'd rate it 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.600 the other the first one probably like a six, and 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.079 then this close to seven seven and a half, particularly 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:22.760 at a strong price point. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.920 And then the last one. This is my home run hitter. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.720 And I must preference this with saying I didn't choose 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.640 a spring water tuna one because to me, oh, lest 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.480 be honest, I just taste like catfish unless you put 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.960 it with something really, really tasty, it is just too 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.240 fishy for me. I'm just like, oh, so, I didn't 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.360 go with a springwater one. If you springwater's your jam, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.240 by all means you guys going nuts, It's not mine. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.920 So I went with the Serena. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.280 You pronounce a Serena Serena yea Serena basil infused tuna brand. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.800 So this one's a more pricey one. It's marketed as 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.680 a I guess, higher end tuna brand. So it's the 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.880 basil infused tuna in oil and again a ninety five 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.440 gram tin. So again coming from Thailand, even only three ingredients, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.120 we've got tuna at seventy four percent, basil infused oil 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.280 at twenty four point eight percent and sea salt. There 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.360 are only three ingredients and within the basil infused oil 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.640 contains extraversion olive oil, sunflow oil and natural basil flavor. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.840 So a very very clean ingredient list. And SUSI, I've 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.720 had it and it tastes really good. And for me, 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.320 I think it's important, particularly when you're talking about tuna, 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.200 something so polarizing, like you love it or you hate it, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.640 it has to taste good. It really does. So for me, 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.000 this one tastes great. Yes, it's a high price point, 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.720 but I must admit I only ever buy it what 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.760 it's half price, and what it's half price, I'll buy 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.440 about twenty tins and shove them in the back of 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:40.000 the pantry. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.080 Can't wait for you to get your new kitchen where 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.600 we've got stockpiles of all these on sale items. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:45.480 It's fantastic. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:45.840 I love it. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.800 I'm a massive horder when things are hot price. I 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.000 must admit. Buttet Green when I. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.440 First started working as a dietitian and I were working 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.560 in cardiac nutrition, and so we would talk a lot 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.000 about fish and tinfish, and because I wasn't a massive 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.800 tuna eater, I became very educated, very quickly from my 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.080 clients that the only or not the only, but the 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.000 preferred brand for taste, even though it wasn't an Australian 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.960 company with Serena, so I sort of, you know, off 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.240 the record, I'm completely aware that people who are tuna 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.000 lovers will say that they love this flavor of this product. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.640 It's a bit like your affinity with soy milk. You've 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.760 got brands that you really like for the flavor, and 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.000 I think this to be the case absolutely. Serena fans 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.000 are massive Serena fans, and you know, Leanne and I, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.720 where possible always try and support Australian brands and Austrainian products. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.520 But when things taste nutritionally superior for a range of 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.800 different reasons, this is always the go to product, and 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.320 I think that's why commands are a much higher price point. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.440 But it's great to also know they do also do 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.840 the half price because that makes it much more affordable. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.240 Nususually Leanne, Let's be honest, we like it because the 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.600 ingredient list is so clean. Ideally it would be all 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.880 extraversion olive oil, but it's a mix of sunflower and 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.160 extravergin so and I don't know if if that's the 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.280 case in their one just in extraversion, I'll just look 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.640 at while we're having a now, but even the A 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.080 Mega three amounts. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.280 Are pretty good. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.840 The protein that we've described is up around eighteen grams 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.320 per serve, which is what we're looking for. The sodium 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.640 is reasonable, so and then as we said anecdotically, everyone 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.760 will talk about how much how good this product always tastes. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.560 And I actually haven't gone through the ingredient panel, So 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.080 while you look up for the one an extra version 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:23.400 olive oil, I shall do that. So per serving size interesting, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.520 So it says one serving is seventy gram so I 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.520 think that just means drained because the tin is ninety 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.600 five grams, so they must just drain off the oil 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.560 and the liquid. And they've called a serving sized seventy grams, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.840 so we're still comparing like to like like all three 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.000 tins I imagine would be roughly around that sort of 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.240 seventy to eighty gram serving size. So energy wise, we've 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.680 got five hundred and seventy kilodules. Protein wise, this is 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.240 what we like to see, Susie, seventeen point six grams 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.680 of protein per tin, so lovely high. I'm out there 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.840 total fat is seven point three grams coming from the 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.840 tuna itself and the infusion of the sunflower oil and 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.160 the extraversion olive oil. Saturated fat is only one gram, 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.600 so low, which is what we would expect tin of China. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.080 Carbohydrates is less than a gram, sugar is less than 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.840 a gram, and sodium is three sixty milligrams, So sort 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.439 of sitting about mid range between the other two that 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.720 we've chosen, but still not really of concern unless you 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.800 really have issues with sort of floor destrictions or cardiac restrictions. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.040 So I think overall, this one probably for me, Susie 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.840 comes out on top, although it is the most expensive one. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.719 Like I said, I would only really ever buy at 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.000 half price, and I really do have a love for 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.440 the kind of home brand style of tuna as well. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.280 I quite like the Coals and Wilwors just pure smoked 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.720 tuna brands, and they're quite high in protein as well 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.159 from memory, about seventeen to eighteen grams as well, So 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.040 if you're using this as your main protein sauce as 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.000 a lunch or dinner, you'd want to get as close 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.919 to twenty grams ideally as you can. If that was 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.000 kind of the only protein sauce in your meal. 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.920 So I'm just having a quick look at the ones 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.119 online now. So the Serena, which is the Italian style, 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.840 is still a mix of the sunflower and the extraversion 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.720 or does it sorry, just olive oil and extraversion extra 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.080 once extraversion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I chose. So 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.280 that's the same, that's a blend. But it's this other 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.399 one which is called the Levita Light, which I think 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.760 from what I can tell here is all extra virgin 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.120 olive oil at three point eight percent. So that's interesting, 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:17.960
