About Masago sushi

Masago sushi features masago, the delicate, small orange fish roe harvested from capelin, a type of smelt. Common in Japanese cuisine, masago is prized for its mild, slightly salty flavor and unique texture. In sushi, it is often used as a topping or mixed with rice or sauces for added flavor. Masago is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium, which support brain health and immunity. However, it is typically high in sodium, which should be considered for those monitoring salt intake. Additionally, masago may be dyed to enhance its color, and some preparations include added sugars or preservatives. While it provides beneficial nutrients, moderation is key to balancing its health pros and cons in a diet.
