Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) for maximum freshness, these raw, whole sardines are packed in a 40 lb bulk case, offering premium quality seafood at a cost-efficient, wholesale-friendly price.

Perfect for home chefs, pet food producers, restaurants, and holistic practitioners alike, these sardines are sustainably wild-caught, retaining their natural oils, minerals, and protein integrity. Their clean flavor and high nutritional density make them a TCM-approved “Qi-building” food, ideal for strengthening vitality and replenishing the body’s essential energy reserves.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, sardines are classified as warming and nourishing, supporting the Kidney and Spleen meridians. They:

• Tonify Qi and Blood, helping combat fatigue and weakness.

• Moisten dryness and enrich Yin, ideal for those with dry skin or hair.

• Strengthen bones and tendons through their natural calcium and phosphorus content.

• Promote circulation and heart vitality, aligning with sardines’ high omega-3 content.
