About Uni

Uni, known as sea urchin roe, is a delicacy often associated with Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi and sashimi. This creamy, golden-orange treat is the edible part of the sea urchin, prized for its rich umami flavor and briny sweetness. Uni is a nutrient-dense food, packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and important minerals like zinc and iron. It is also a good source of vitamins A and D, supporting bone health and immune function. Uni is low in calories but high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for those watching heart health. With a texture that's both smooth and slightly firm, uni adds indulgence and sophistication to dishes ranging from traditional sushi rolls to modern seafood creations. Its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits make it a sought-after ingredient for those exploring global seafood cuisine.
