Sardines are higher in vitamin E and calcium. Six ounces of canned sardines in oil(always buy in oil they last longer) provides 41 grams of protein. The same portion of canned tuna has 49 grams.
Sardines is the winner when it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, providing 2.4 grams of omega-3, while tuna falls short at 1.5 grams per serving.
Since most sardines will have small digestible bones, they offer more in terms of calcium. If you are an aging woman, like most women are, this can play a big role in the long term health of your bone structure.
In terms of vitamin E you will find sardines to come out on top. Why is it important to take in vitamin E? Vitamin E helps with your blood cell development and is vital to having healthy tissue growth.
When canned, sardines are typically lower in sodium. If you are eating either of these for your daily diet then sardines are healthier than tuna. However, if you are in an emergency situation you most likely want to have more sodium.
