A Ministry of Health nutritionist has identified a safe serving of caviar.

Two or three standard caviar sandwiches won't cause any harm, but excessive consumption of this delicacy should be avoided, said Viktor Tutelyan, chief nutritionist at the Ministry of Health, as quoted by TASS .

"If you have a large spoon or a whole bowl of caviar, it can cause a lot of problems for your body. But if you, like a regular person, spread some caviar on a sandwich and eat it, it will only benefit you," the expert explained.

According to Tutelyan, a healthy choice is one to three caviar sandwiches. "It's for pleasure, but you shouldn't make a cult out of it," he concluded.

Earlier, RIA Novosti, citing analysts from the OFD Platform, reported that Russians have begun purchasing red caviar in 500g packages due to falling prices for the delicacy. The median price was 9,230 rubles per kilogram, down 7% from last year.
