About Rice balls
Rice balls, known as onigiri in Japanese cuisine, are a popular and versatile snack made from seasoned or plain rice, shaped into triangular or cylindrical forms, and often wrapped in a sheet of nori (seaweed). They can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as pickled plum (umeboshi), salted salmon, or tuna with mayonnaise, offering both savory and mildly tangy flavors. Originating in Japan, rice balls are cherished for their portability and simplicity, making them a staple in bento boxes and quick meals. Nutritionally, they are a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and can be enhanced with protein-rich fillings. The addition of nori also offers vitamins and minerals like iodine. However, sodium content may be high depending on the fillings or seasonings used, so balance is key. Rice balls are a wholesome, convenient option when consumed as part of a varied and balanced diet.
