The Tabuleh Cafe is dedicated to providing our customers produce of the highest quality.  Therefore, we certify that our salmon, grouper, and mahi mahi are NOT farm-raised , but wild-caught, free of contaminants, mercury and pesticides.  We also agree with the Mayo Clinic’s findings that the unsaturated fats in our fish called omega-3 fatty acids appear to reduce the risk of heart disease and we encourage our customers to consume at least one to two servings a week.  These types of unsaturated fats may also lower your cholesterol and reduce inflammation throughout the body.  Other benefits of the omega-3s include:  a decrease of triglyceride levels in the blood, an increase in immune responses, and an increase in learning abilities among children.[1]

In addition to the omega-3s, did you know that just four ounces of baked salmon contains a high percentage of tryptophan (103.1% of the Daily Value), Vitamin D (102.8% DV ), selenium (75.8% DV) and protein (58.3% DV)?  These nutrients are used to regulate proper brain and nerve function (in the production of Vitamin B3 serotonin), calcium absorption, and protect tissue and cell membranes in the cells of our body.
