Tuna is a lean, nutrient-rich protein that packs in a lot of health benefits, like omega-3 fatty acids. These unsaturated fatty acids, which are plentiful in tuna, may improve your heart health by lowering your blood pressure and reducing inflammation and triglycerides — a type of fat — in your blood, among other benefits. The USDA recommends that adults eat 8 ounces of seafood per week as a part of a healthy diet, so choose wisely. Tuna is known to contain mercury, a neurotoxin that can negatively impact your health, causing problems including muscle weakness, per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

No, wait, it's an environmentally friendly and sustainable mild fish that can carry many flavor profiles and works well in a variety of dishes.

Perhaps you're one of the many people who've switched from milk to dark chocolate because the latter has less sugar and more antioxidants. But before you tear into that candy bar or hit the kitchen to start cooking up a homemade treat (like our salted caramel recipe), there's something you should know. Your dark chocolate may be hiding an even darker secret. It's known to contain two heavy metals — cadmium and lead — that can cause harmful health effects.

Softened or "room temperature" butter is an essential ingredient in baking, typically creamed with sugar as the first step in making cakes, slices, muffins, and cookies. It's also a crucial element in creating deliciously fluffy buttercream frosting. But as any home baker will know, transforming a rock hard block of butter into something more squidgy is easier said than done. Soften the butter too little, and it won't blend with the sugar, ultimately creating dense and heavy bakes. Soften it too much, on the other hand, and it will give you a greasy, loose batter with a flat, soggy result.

There's an undeniable magic to a delicious bite of sushi. Whether it's the meaty delight of fresh tuna, or the melt-in-your-mouth nature of fatty salmon, raw fish impresses. Yet, especially for newcomers, it can be hard to shake the fear of sampling the food without cooking. After all, the idea of a parasite in the flesh — with its off-putting worm-like form — is enough to function as a deterrent. Thankfully, no need to worry; there are precautions in place. You've likely seen the sushi-grade label at the store, a sign it's not a complete gamble regarding what's good to eat.

What Does Sushi-Grade Really Mean When It Comes To Fish?

Pizza is easily one of the reigning champs of leftovers since forever; easy to grab the next day and enjoy cold straight out of the fridge (as some may prefer), or popped in the microwave to get warmed back up. But for those who argue that warm is better and routinely gravitate toward the microwave as their method of choice, there's a better way — and it's sitting right on your countertop.

13 Canned Fruits You Should Have In Your Pantry

Cranking up the grill is one of the best ways to cook — you don't need to worry about a messy kitchen or turning the oven on when it's a hot day. Plus, there is something about that slightly-charred flavor that adds a new element when cooking up some burgers. But there is some technique involved, so you have to know exactly how to do it if you want to grill like a master.
