Say the word “Sushi” and raw fish immediately pops into your mind but the truth is dishes made with raw fish are called “Sashimi”. What defines Sushi is any dish made with vinegar rice, which may or may not include raw fish. Sushi usually consists of various types of shellfish such as crab or lobster, or cooked fish along with other fresh ingredients wrapped tightly inside the sticky vinegar rice.
Sushi can be so versatile with a variety of fillings beside the seafood like creamy avocado, tangy cream cheese to crunchy cucumber or spicy jalapeño peppers. The sushi rolls are also prepared in diverse ways which allows you to experience different textures such as crunchy fried rolls and gooey rolls baked with cheese.
Not only are they pleasurable to eat they are amazing to look at. The contrast of colours like the dark Nori (seaweed) wrap combined with the white sticky rice and all the bright fillings and toppings such as the vivid orange of carrots, the brilliant red of fish roe and the radiant colours of the diversity of seafood.
Sushi has become very popular over the years and with people being much more health conscious they enjoy the fact that it is low fat, loaded with nutrients, easy and quick to make. For instance, a typical serving of Sushi consists of 8 to 10 pieces, which is around 350 to 400 calories. Also because of the fish, Sushi is high in protein and an excellent source for Omega 3 fatty acid. From the seaweed used in Sushi along with the rice, this food is also rich in iodine and complex carbohydrates.
The Sushi industry has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry with a multitude of restaurants opening around the world. You will probably be surprised at how delicious it is when you try it. Sushi has a soft, light taste that leaves you satisfied. I must say I was not ready to have Sushi five years ago but I weaned myself into it because it seemed like such a thrill to eat these stunning rolls and I have no regrets. I eat Sushi at least three times a month which makes it so obvious I love me some Sushi
Why did you take the introduction from the source without crediting the source? The rest of the piece is fine, nicely written and researched. Watch your punctuation.
