Sushi rice, also known as "shari" or "sumeshi," is a short-grain variety traditionally used in Japanese cuisine. Prepared with a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, it offers a slightly sticky texture that is ideal for forming sushi rolls and nigiri. Rich in carbohydrates, sushi rice provides energy but is relatively low in fiber and protein. The vinegar seasoning adds a subtle tang while promoting digestive health. Although low in fat, sushi rice may lack certain nutrients found in whole grains, as it is typically polished white rice. To balance its nutritional profile, it’s often paired with heart-healthy fish, fresh vegetables, and seaweed, which contribute essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. While sushi rice is not inherently unhealthy, portion control and mindful ingredient pairing are key for maintaining a well-rounded diet.
