About Sushi nigiri - tuna

Sushi Nigiri - Tuna is a classic dish from Japanese cuisine, featuring a slice of fresh tuna placed atop a small mound of vinegared sushi rice. It is typically served with a touch of wasabi and sometimes garnished with soy sauce or pickled ginger. Tuna is a lean protein source, rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Additionally, the rice provides carbohydrates for energy. However, sushi rice is often made with sugar and rice vinegar, making it less ideal for those seeking low-glycemic options. While nigiri is relatively low in calories, sodium content can rise depending on the amount of soy sauce used. This dish offers a simple yet nutritious way to enjoy the delicate, natural flavor of tuna while benefiting from its heart-healthy fats and high-quality protein.
