About Onigiri
Onigiri, or Japanese rice balls, are a beloved staple of Japanese cuisine, cherished for their simplicity and portability. Typically made of steamed white rice, they are shaped into triangular, circular, or cylindrical forms and often wrapped in nori (seaweed). Onigiri may be filled with savory ingredients like pickled plums (umeboshi), salted salmon, or tuna with mayonnaise, offering a balance of flavors. Nutritionally, onigiri provides energy through its carbohydrate-rich rice base, and fillings like fish add protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Seaweed contributes iodine and minerals, promoting thyroid health. While onigiri can be a wholesome choice, some variations include higher sodium or fat content due to salty fillings or added mayonnaise. Opting for lighter fillings and pairing onigiri with vegetables can make it a balanced snack or meal. Its versatility and heritage make it a favorite comfort food in Japan and beyond.
