Artisanally Farmed Rainbow Trout Rainbow trout is a mild, delicate fish that has been raised for more than a century around the world, in the cool mountain river and stream waters. Our rainbow trout are raised on an old-fashioned family farm in the Columbian Andes. Each rainbow trout portion is at least 4 ounces and guaranteed to delight. Health Benefits of Rainbow Trout: Rainbow Trout is delicious and also a healthy meal choice. Rainbow trout is packed with protein and essential Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as potassium - all of which can help to manage high blood pressure, improve muscle strength and boost metabolism. Rainbow trout are loaded with phosphorus, and a good source of Vitamins B6, B12, pantothenic acid, and selenium. Protein The 21 grams of protein provided by a 3-ounce serving of rainbow trout supply 37 percent of the recommended daily allowance for an adult man and nearly 46 percent of the daily need for an adult woman. A 2008 study published in “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” indicated that people who obtained approximately 25 percent of their total caloric intake from lean protein sources like fish were more likely to lose weight, retain lean muscle mass and feel fuller after eating than people who received only 12 percent of their calories from protein.
