In its natural state, salmon acquires its color at three years of life, by a substance called astaxanthin , which is present in its diet, based on crustaceans , shrimp and krill. This substance accumulates in the tissues of salmon and this is what gives it the color.But...How many people can afford to consume natural salmon? It is very expensive and not easy to obtain, which is why the fish farm was responsible for raising a salmon that was obtained at a more affordable price, to meet the demand for this “healthy” food has currently generated by its “multiple benefits”.

Farmed salmon are gray .Yes, gray, because their diet consists of oil, fish, corn starch and transgenic soybeans , not of crustaceans or krill as in their natural environment.So to give a more “appetizing” color, the companies have their fish, there is a whole range of pink tones from which they can choose, this color chart I create the pharmaceutical multinational Hoffman-LaRoche, which was bought in 2002 by another multinational called DSM.

It is something similar to what happens in the meat industry, do you know how much water and how much food is Do you need to produce a kilo of meat? Be curious and find out!

In the United States it is law to determine whether salmon are painted or not , but it is not a rule that applies to many countries.What do you think about this topic? We really don't know what we are eating!
