The Lesser-Known Health Benefits Of Caviar

Caviar, also known as caviare, is a delicacy enjoyed across the globe. It is the salt-cured roe of the Acipenseridae family. Roe is a mass of small and delicate eggs of sturgeon (27 species of fish), which is extracted from stunned female fish. This particular luxurious delicacy also has a soft and popping texture and a salty, seaweed flavour. But fresher caviar is always less salty, thereby making it much costlier. 

The extraction of golden Kaluga hybrid caviar is pretty complicated and the same must be kept refrigerated until it is consumed due to its easily perishable nature. It can only be eaten using wood, glass, or spoons that are made of non-metal, if done otherwise, the delicate eggs’ taste may get contaminated upon coming in contact with metal objects. Caviar is usually considered as the ‘food of the rich’ as it is extremely costly due to the intricate extraction method and short lifespan.
