Masago, known as capelin roe, is a small, orange-hued fish egg commonly used in Japanese cuisine. It is often found as a topping for sushi, sashimi, or poke bowls, adding a crunchy texture and mild, slightly salty flavor. Masago is rich in essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin B12, which support heart health, brain function, and energy production. Additionally, it contains selenium, a mineral with antioxidant properties. However, it is moderately high in sodium and cholesterol, so those with dietary restrictions should consume it in moderation. Masago is typically cured with salt and sugar, and sometimes enhanced with flavorings or coloring to achieve its vibrant appearance. This versatile ingredient enhances dishes with both flavor and nutrition, making it a popular choice in seafood-inspired meals.
