In this episode of Verapodden, Chalmers´podcast, we meet food scientist Ingrid Undeland, who advocates increased consumption of herring – for food security, the climate and our health. Swedes often eat fillets from imported fish, while catches from our own seas end up as animal feed abroad. With new technology, we can use nutrients from the whole fish, extract protein from algae and create healthy, climate-friendly dishes from our marine resources. Antioxidants from cranberries and rosemary also help fish stay fresh longer.
Rebecka Strand, PhD student at Chalmers University of Technology, also participates in the episode.
