About Mochi
Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice that is steamed, pounded, and molded into a chewy, smooth texture. It often serves as a versatile base for both sweet and savory dishes, with common fillings including sweet red bean paste, fruit, or ice cream. Naturally gluten-free, mochi provides energy from carbohydrates and small amounts of protein, but it is relatively low in fats and essential nutrients. While its simplicity can make it a healthier dessert option compared to processed sweets, moderation is key, as mochi is dense and can contribute to a high caloric intake. Originating from Japanese cuisine, mochi has cultural significance, particularly during celebrations like the New Year. However, caution is advised due to its sticky texture, which can pose a choking hazard if not properly chewed.
