It has a high content of proteins of high biological value; it is a source of minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, and potassium. In terms of vitamins, vitamin B12 remains the most notable (a serving of hake covers 80% of the recommended intake for men and women aged 20 to 39 who engage in moderate physical activity), followed by vitamin B3 or niacin.
