About Fish, tuna, light, canned in oil, drained solids
Canned light tuna packed in oil and then drained retains more fat than its water-packed counterpart, giving it a richer texture and slightly fuller flavor. Protein is very high and carbohydrate is absent. The oil used in packing, often soybean or vegetable oil, contributes additional fat even after draining. It works well in pasta, on grain bowls, or simply flaked into a salad where that extra richness is an asset rather than a liability.
