Rice balls, known as "onigiri" in Japanese cuisine, are a popular, portable snack made by shaping steamed rice into a triangular, oval, or round form, often wrapped in nori seaweed. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as pickled plums (umeboshi), grilled salmon, or tuna with mayonnaise, offering a blend of savory and tangy flavors. Originating in Japan, rice balls are a traditional and versatile dish, enjoyed as a convenient meal or snack. Nutritionally, onigiri is a good source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, and depending on the filling, it can include healthy proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. Nori adds vitamins and minerals like iodine. However, some versions may contain higher amounts of sodium, especially those with pickled or salty fillings. When enjoyed in moderation or prepared with balanced ingredients, rice balls can be a wholesome, satisfying option for all ages.
