About Kusamochi
Kusamochi, a traditional Japanese treat, is a type of mochi made with glutinous rice flour and flavored with yomogi (Japanese mugwort), which gives it a vibrant green color and herbal aroma. The mochi is soft, chewy, and often filled with sweet red bean paste for added flavor. Originating in Japan, Kusamochi is enjoyed during springtime, particularly around festivals like Hinamatsuri. Nutritionally, it offers energy from carbohydrates and is low in fat, making it a lighter dessert option compared to fried or heavily processed sweets. Yomogi is rich in antioxidants and has been traditionally valued for its health benefits. However, Kusamochi is high in sugar due to its sweet filling, and portion control is advisable for those monitoring blood sugar levels or caloric intake. As part of a balanced diet, Kusamochi can be a delightful and culturally enriching indulgence.
