HOW PREMIUM HERRING IS MADE

Our ingredients are the highest quality and we will never compromise that.

Ma Baensch Food Products imports sustainable herring tidbits fromoff the coast of Norway.This premium herring is caught, filleted, precut and packed in barrels exclusively for Ma Baensch in a special salt brine. The herring is kept refrigerated throughout the entire process. Then, one barrel at a time, wetransfer the herring pieces in to tanks and rinse them in overflowing, fresh cold water. This process ensures that Ma Baensch herring maintains the quality taste that is uncompromising.

After rinsing, we marinate the premium herring in Lena’s secret sauce. When the marinating process is complete, the premium herring is drained, hand-packed into jars and filled with fresh marinade or cream sauce. Unlike some of our competitors, Ma Baensch uses only the highest quality ingredients including cane sugar, natural dairy products and Spanish onions, in our herring recipes. Our unique process is the reason why we are confident that Ma Baensch premium herring is the“Baensch-mark” of herring.

HERRING FOR YOUR HEALTH

Are you aware that, beside the delicious addition herring makes to your dining, it is extremely healthy? It is rich in nutrients that promote health in many ways. Herring is:

– Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and thus healthy for your heart and brain!
– Rich in Protein and Calcium which makes it an alternative to meat or dairy products!

Omega-3 fatty acids are a unique class of oils found almost exclusively in marine animal and plant life. These highly unsaturated fatty acids, concentrated in fish oil, are key in the battle against heart disease. Medical research has shown there is tremendous potential for defeating our nation’s number-one killer with a diet that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids. It is universally believed that people who eat seafood, especially fish, are less likely to develop diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, kidney disease and bronchial asthma. Omega-3 has also been known to slow or prevent cancerous tumor growth, help prevent blood clots and stimulate blood circulation. These fatty acids are also beneficial to brain function as they enhance the cell membrane functions that are involved in transmitting messages.

A nutritious alternative to meat and dairy products, herring is naturally rich in omega-3 and high in protein and calcium. According to a 2018 study published in the published in the New England Journal of Medicine, a high dose of an omega-3 fatty acid given to patients with an elevated cardiac risk significantly reduced cardiovascular events. With  275 mg (original sauce) or 400 mg (sour cream) of EPA + DHA per serving, Ma Baensch herring is a great source of omega-3s.
