Salmon is in season right now, so it’s a great time to add some extra Omega 3 to your diet. 🙂 Here are some fun facts on Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon:

-Sockeye Reds draw people in with their bright red color and extra firm texture. Premium sockeye – that with the highest oil content – comes from either very long river systems or from glacial, very cold river systems.
-This Alaska salmon comes from fisheries rated green or yellow by the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Blue Ocean Institute. That signals healthy populations (no overfishing) and a fishing method that’s easy on the environment.
-The Whole Foods Port Buyers are based in Alaska throughout the salmon season. They work personally with fishermen to bring the highest-quality salmon to their fresh cases.
