Health Benefits of Eating Flounder

Parker Jewish Institute is proud of our culinary team. We encourage all Parker members, whether a patient/resident, visitor or employee, to eat a well-balanced, nutritional diet.

Today, we are sharing a recipe for one of Parker’s most popular dishes – Steamed Stuffed Flounder Rolls. Flounder contains many health benefits. This low-calorie, lean, high-protein fish is an excellent source of phosphorus and vitamin D, nutrients that maintain strong healthy bones and teeth. Compared to other fish, flounder is low in mercury, and contains long-chain mega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12, which strengthens our cardiovascular system. We hope you enjoy our recipe!
