King salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha), are the largest of the Pacific salmon. Native to the north west coast of North America and North East Asia, King salmon were first introduced into New Zealand from northern California as a game fish in the late 19th century. In the 1980s New Zealand entrepreneurs sought to develop salmon farms in the cool, deep waters of the Marlborough Sounds.
 
Being an excellent source of high-quality protein, King salmon also offers a full complement of the vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids your body needs to be healthy. King salmon features vitamins A, B12 and D, along with niacin, thiamine, selenium and iodine. This powerful combination of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are key for improving resistance and provide natural support to help keep your immune cells functioning at their best.
 
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that can help prevent heart disease, maintain joint health and support a healthy mind. They are especially important for young children as they are vital for early brain and eye development. As the body cannot produce omega-3s, we must consume food rich in them. King salmon consistently has some of the highest levels per serving compared to other salmon and seafood options.
