Canned tuna is a convenient and versatile pantry staple made from various species of tuna, most commonly albacore (white tuna) and skipjack (light tuna). It's typically packed in water, oil, or flavored sauces. The flavor ranges from mild and delicate (albacore) to more pronounced and fishy (skipjack). The texture is flaky and can vary from firm to softer depending on the packing liquid and tuna species. High-quality canned tuna should be light in color and free of excessive dark meat. As a readily available and affordable source of protein, canned tuna is used extensively in quick meals and recipes.

Unopened canned tuna is shelf-stable and can be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry or cupboard, at room temperature. Check the expiration date before use. Once opened, transfer any unused tuna to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. Consume refrigerated tuna within 3-5 days for optimal quality and safety. Do not freeze canned tuna as it can alter the texture and flavor.
