California Roll Nutrition

A California roll is one of the most popular types of sushi, especially in Western countries. It typically consists of imitation crab (surimi), avocado, and cucumber, all rolled with a layer of seasoned sushi rice and nori (seaweed). Often, it is prepared as an "inside-out" roll, with the rice on the outside, and may be garnished with sesame seeds or tobiko (flying fish roe). This combination of ingredients creates a balanced flavor profile that is creamy, savory, and fresh.

Calorie Breakdown

A standard California roll, consisting of 6 to 8 pieces, contains approximately 262 calories. The primary source of these calories is the carbohydrates from the sushi rice. Sushi rice is seasoned with a mixture of vinegar, salt, and sugar, which contributes to its overall calorie and sugar content. The second largest contributor to the calorie count is the fat, which comes mainly from the creamy avocado and any mayonnaise that might be mixed with the imitation crab.

Nutrient Profile

In terms of macronutrients, a California roll is predominantly a source of carbohydrates. It also provides a moderate amount of protein from the imitation crab and healthy monounsaturated fats from the avocado. The cucumber and nori contribute a small amount of dietary fiber. While enjoyable, it's important to be mindful of the sodium content. The seasoned rice, imitation crab, and the common practice of dipping sushi in soy sauce can lead to a high sodium intake in a single serving.
