A Beginner’s Guide
Food City Registered Dietitian Elizabeth Hall gives us the basics of sushi including health benefits and food safety.
What is sushi?
There are many types of fresh made sushi available at Food City, including cooked and raw options. Here are a few terms and dishes to become familiar with:
• Nigiri is a piece of raw fish that is placed on top of a small ball of rice. This is Japan's most popular and basic form of sushi. Although raw fish is most commonly used, cooked or seared meats or fish and vegetables may be used as well.
• Maki is a sushi roll. Seaweed is most commonly used as the wrapper to hold the rice and a filling in the middle. In the U.S., it's more common to see rolls with the rice on the outside.
• Gunkanmaki is a combination of nigiri and maki. The ball of rice is topped with a less-solid filling, such as oysters, and held in place by wrapping seaweed on the outside and around the bottom of the rice to hold the filling on top.
What are the health benefits?
The components of sushi contribute to multiple health benefits when consumed as a part of an overall balanced diet:
• Seaweed is high in iodine which is an essential mineral used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones. These hormones control many functions in the body including growth and development. Because your body does not produce iodine, it needs to be supplied in the diet.
• The vegetable components of sushi contain antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals that protect against long-term diseases and support the immune system.
• Seafood contains high levels of omega-3s, which is an unsaturated fatty acid. Research shows that eating two servings of seafood per week reduces the risk of heart disease and related deaths.
While sushi has the potential to be very healthy, it can also contain hidden calories and sodium. To enjoy the health benefits of this Japanese food, try the following:
• Keep it simple. Choose a variety of fish and vegetables to maximize nutrition benefits.
• Choose your rolls wisely. Watch out for fried fillings, mayo, and cream cheese, as these ingredients add extra calories and fat.
• Minimize soy sauce. Soy sauce is high in sodium and easy to overuse. When possible, choose the "lower sodium" version and try dipping the fish instead of the rice.
What about food safety?
It is recommended that high-risk individuals do not eat raw seafood. High-risk individuals include those with compromised immune systems or with decreased stomach acidity, as well as pregnant women, infants, young children and older adults. These individuals should choose sushi rolls with vegetables or cooked ingredients.
Also, be aware of the following food safety considerations when eating raw fish:
• Despite the popular myth, neither hot sauce nor alcohol kills bacteria in raw fish.
• If you do decide to eat raw fish, choose fish that has been previously frozen. Freezing will kill any potential parasites present, although it does not kill every harmful organism.
