What is Anchovy? ππ£
Anchovy is a small fish that lives in schools in ocean waters, known for its tiny size, soft bones, and distinctive savory flavor. Despite their small size, anchovies play a significant role in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially in Indonesia. They are often processed into various forms, ranging from wet anchovies (fresh), salted anchovies, to dried anchovies, each having unique uses in cooking. ππ
Anchovies are not only delicious but also a very nutrient-dense food source. They are rich in protein, calcium (especially because they are eaten with their bones), phosphorus, and Omega-3 fatty acids. The high calcium content is excellent for bone and teeth health, making them a healthy food choice, especially for children and the elderly. The natural savory taste of anchovies comes from their high content of amino acids and inosine monophosphate (IMP), which provides an umami effect. πͺπ¦΄π§
Jarson Artha Utama is committed to providing the best anchovies: sustainably caught, cleanly processed, and having consistent taste and texture quality. We ensure hygienic handling and drying (for salted/dried anchovies) so that the product remains fresh and safe for consumption. We offer various types of anchovies, such as "teri nasi," "teri jengki," or "teri medan," which meet high-quality standards for all your culinary needs. π―π½οΈ
