DRIED SEAFOOD SNACK IS
SUPERFOOD
Icelanders favorite snack
since 874
Dried seafood snack is part of the essence of Icelandic history. The earliest written information about the Icelandic dried fish (Harðfiskur) are from the 14th century in the Icelandic sagas. On the other hand, it is believed that Harðfiskur has followed the Icelandic people since the beginning of the settlement in 874.
Harðfiskur was one of Iceland's main food for centuries. Iceland was often called the fishing island and it was said while the Europeans where eating bread the Icelanders ate harðfiskur as snacks.
Hardfiskur used to be one of Iceland's leading food, and was often eaten with butter or special type of seaweed. Harðfiskur is always made from fresh raw material.
Harðfiskur is a natural product and contains no artificial ingredients. Only about 10% of newly caught from the cold waters of Iceland returns to a salable product after drying. 1kg of fresh fish equal 100 of harðfiskur.
Harðfiskur is high in protein, but 100g of the product contains about 85% protein. For example, fresh haddock or cod contains only about 17-19% protein.
Harðfiskur is especially suitable for those who are seeking extra protein from their diet. Such as people who do a lot of activities like hiking, cycling, running, gym and all kinds of sports.
Various studies have been conducted on the health of fish, suggesting that fish consumption can have a tremendous positive impact on people's health.
An adult needs about 0.75 g of protein per kg body weight. Therefore, a person weighing 70 kg needs to receive 53 g of protein per day. To get this amount of hard fish, he only needs to eat just over 66 g.
