A wealth of research has been released recently regarding the heart-healthy benefits of the Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, notes Lean Cuisine.

The types of Omega-3s are most commonly found in many types of seafood like fish. However, purchasing and preparing fresh seafood several times a week is not always a viable option for today's busy, yet health-conscious consumer.

That's why Lean Cuisine says that it is introducing Seafood Selections entrees, all offering an "excellent" source of the Daily Value of DHA/EPA in each serving. With fewer than 350 calories and 8 grams of fat or less, Seafood Selections entrees are also an excellent source of lean protein.

"USDA's MyPyramid encourages Americans to eat fish rich in Omega-3s more often. Lean Cuisine Seafood Selections offer a convenient way for women to include more Omega-3s into their diet," said Kristin Gibbs, Director of Marketing for Lean Cuisine. "We are proud to be among the first to offer such a wide variety of entrees featuring delicious seafood choices."

The Seafood Selections menu consists of nine meals, four of them new. The new Seafood Selections entrees include Parmesan Crusted Fish, Szechuan Style Stir Fry, and Tortilla Crusted Fish, the company noted in a release.
