FAQ
Oopah refers to a tunicate (sea squirt), a marine invertebrate traditionally eaten by Alaska Native communities. Nutritionally, it is very lean, about 67 kcal per 100 g, 11.7 g protein, and 0 g carbs, making it a high protein, low calorie food
No. It can fit well for cholesterol management because it is extremely low in fat. Per serving, it has about 67 kcal, ~2.2 g fat, and essentially 0 g saturated fat, which is the main dietary driver of LDL cholesterol. Replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat can lower LDL by about ~10 mg/dL, and since oopah is naturally very low in saturated fat, it tends to be a better protein choice than fatty meats.
No. It is unlikely to raise blood pressure on its own. Oopah contains almost no carbohydrates, very little fat, and minimal sodium, which means it does not carry the typical dietary drivers of hypertension.
