The benefits of tulka

The benefits of tulka (like most marine fish) for the human body are the high content of phosphorus, calcium and iodine, as well as other nutrients. Small bones of tulips when cooked or salted soften well, so they are perfectly absorbed by the body. It is known that in the tails and bones of the tulip there are much more of these elements than, for example, in sturgeon.

In addition, the benefits of tulip are obvious due to the content of a whole set of amino acids vital for humans, of which there are 23 names in it. Especially these elements are necessary for women and elderly people, but it is important to consume such fish entirely.
