Tuna is one of the popular cooking ingredients because it has many advantages. One of the advantages is high nutrition. Tuna is rich in protein, omega-3, vitamin B12, and various minerals that are important for the body. Protein in tuna plays an important role in the formation and repair of body tissue, while omega-3 is good for heart and brain health.
However, despite containing many nutrients , tuna also has drawbacks that need to be considered. One of them is the potential to cause allergic reactions in the form of itching in some people. Some individuals are sometimes sensitive to histamine formed in tuna, especially if the fish is not stored or processed properly. This histamine can cause allergy symptoms such as itching, rashes, and even digestive disorders. Therefore, it is important to ensure that tuna is fresh and properly processed to reduce the risk of allergies.
Well, to minimize the risk of allergies in the form of itching, there is a trick that can be done when processing tuna. This trick was once done by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura through one of the uploaded videos. She admitted that the processing process in question is to clean the tuna thoroughly, not just remove the gills.
Next, when you are about to cook it, remove the white layer that sticks to the outside of the fish skin. According to Instagram user @ummubalqishaura, this white layer is what causes tuna to smell fishy and causes an itchy feeling on the tongue when consumed. Well, to remove this part, you simply rub the surface of the fish with a soft sponge until it is completely clean.
