Important Notes

  • You can use green onions instead of red onion.

  • It is very important to boil canned tuna before consumption. Place the can in boiling water for 20 minutes, ensuring it is fully submerged. Experts strongly emphasize this step because improper production, storage conditions, or expired products may lead to contamination by a dangerous bacterium that causes botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. Boiling the can is the only way to eliminate this harmful bacteria.

  • Bell peppers are highly nutritious and recommended for everyone, especially children. They come in green, yellow, and red varieties. Green peppers have a stronger taste. They contain nutrients beneficial for treating colds, anemia, improving eyesight, and relieving constipation. Peppers with four lobes are considered “female,” contain more seeds, and taste sweeter, making them suitable for salads and raw consumption. Peppers with three lobes are considered “male,” have fewer seeds, and are slightly stronger in taste, making them more suitable for cooking since they do not turn bitter after heat exposure.
