Delicate Salmon roe – called Ikura in Japan – is highly prized by caviar lovers around the world.
Ours comes from wild Northwest Pacific Keta Salmon and is produced under the direct supervision of Japanese Ikura experts, using a custom 3% brine for milder flavor and lower salt content than most.
Native Alaskans report that salmon roe is an excellent first semi-solid food for infants, introduced at about eight months. Click the video at right to see kids sampling and clearly savoring our Ikura. Not only does it provide ample omega-3s for the rapidly growing brain and neural system, it also helps establish a life-long taste for seafood and its many potential health benefits.
Keta roe boasts remarkably high levels of omega-3s (EPA and DHA), averaging 1,800 mg per 1 oz serving (USDA data).
This is only a bit less omega-3 fat than occurs in a 3.5 oz serving of King Salmon, and significantly more than in a 3.5 oz serving of Sockeye or Silver Salmon.
