About Fresh rolls

Fresh rolls, commonly referred to as spring rolls or summer rolls, are a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Vietnamese. These rolls consist of rice paper filled with fresh vegetables, herbs, protein such as shrimp or tofu, and sometimes vermicelli noodles, served with a dipping sauce like hoisin or peanut sauce. They are typically low in calories and rich in vitamins and minerals due to their fresh ingredients. The rolls provide balanced macronutrients, offering carbohydrates from the rice paper and noodles, protein from the fillings, and fiber from the vegetables. They are a versatile and healthy dish, whether consumed as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin A from vegetables like carrots, which supports eye health and immunity.
• Source of lean protein from shrimp or tofu, aiding muscle repair and cellular functions.
• High in dietary fiber from fresh vegetables, promoting digestive health and satiety.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains shrimp, peanuts, soy

Suitable for: Gluten-free, pescatarian, vegetarian (if tofu is used)

Selection and Storage

Common Questions About Fresh rolls Nutrition

Are fresh rolls high in protein?

Fresh rolls typically have a moderate protein content, primarily coming from their fillings, such as shrimp, tofu, or chicken. On average, a single fresh roll contains 2-5 grams of protein, depending on the ingredients used. Adding higher-protein fillings can further increase its protein value.

Can I eat fresh rolls on a keto diet?

Fresh rolls are usually not suitable for a strict keto diet because the rice paper wrappers and any rice noodles inside are higher in carbohydrates. A single fresh roll may contain 15-25 grams of carbs. However, keto-friendly versions can be made by using lettuce wraps and low-carb fillings instead.

Are fresh rolls healthy?

Fresh rolls are generally a healthy option, as they are low in fat and calories, with an average roll containing 60-100 calories. They are also often packed with fresh vegetables, providing fiber, vitamins A and C, and other nutrients. However, dipping sauces like peanut or hoisin sauce can be high in sugar and calories, so moderation is key.

How many fresh rolls should I eat per serving?

A typical serving size is 2-3 fresh rolls, which provides a balanced amount of calories (120-300 calories depending on size and filling). This portion works well as an appetizer or light meal when paired with a side salad or soup for additional nutrients.

How do fresh rolls compare to spring rolls?

Fresh rolls are a lighter and healthier alternative to spring rolls. While fresh rolls use rice paper wrappers and are typically served uncooked with fresh ingredients, spring rolls are often fried with a wheat-based wrapper, which makes them higher in fat and calories. Fresh rolls are also more versatile for accommodating dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or gluten-free options.
