About Nigiri sushi

Nigiri sushi is a traditional Japanese dish that pairs a small, oval-shaped mound of vinegared sushi rice with a thin slice of fresh seafood, such as salmon, tuna, or shrimp, draped on top. Sometimes, it is garnished with wasabi, seaweed, or green onions for added flavor. Originating in Japan, nigiri is celebrated for its simplicity, freshness, and balance of flavors. Nutritionally, nigiri is a source of lean protein from the seafood and provides energy through the rice. Fish like salmon and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, the white rice can be high in carbs, and sodium content may increase with soy sauce or added toppings. Portion control and mindful ingredient choices make nigiri sushi a wholesome, flavorful option in a balanced diet.
