About Chicken spring rolls

Chicken spring rolls are a popular appetizer originating from East and Southeast Asian cuisines, combining thin wrappers made of rice or wheat with fillings such as cooked chicken, vegetables, and seasonings. Traditionally, they are served as fried or fresh rolls, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Nutritionally, chicken spring rolls provide a mix of protein from chicken, fiber from vegetables like carrots and cabbage, and carbohydrates from the wrapper. While they can be calorie-dense when fried, opting for fresh or baked versions reduces fat content and makes them more healthful. Typical servings offer approximately 150-200 calories per roll, with moderate amounts of fat, some fiber (2-4g), and a decent source of B-complex vitamins like niacin from chicken.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein due to the chicken, aiding muscle repair and growth.
• Contains vitamin A from vegetables like carrots, promoting eye health and immune function.
• Provides dietary fiber, supporting healthy digestion and gut health.

Dietary Considerations

Selection and Storage

Store cooked spring rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for crispiness, or enjoy cold if they are fresh rolls.
