Those who followed Agro, Saúde e Cooperação this Sunday, July 31, witnessed some of the tilapia gastronomic experience. Very creative, recommended by a nutritionist for introducing white meat into the diet of children, and another unusual one, created by the fish value laboratory at IFSC Itajaí.

In both cases, the benefit lies in eating nutritious, low-calorie fish rich in protein, omega-3s, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins B3, B6, and B12.

For introducing into the diet of children, the main advantage is that the fillet does not have thorns and the taste is not as strong as other fish.

Below are two unbeatable recipes: fish burger and chocolate tilapia cake!
