About Hawaii rolls

Hawaiian rolls are sweet, soft, and fluffy bread rolls that originated from Hawaii. They are inspired by Portuguese sweet bread brought to the islands by immigrants, blending local Hawaiian flavors and the enriched dough techniques of European-style bread. Hawaiian rolls are commonly enjoyed in Hawaiian cuisine and are versatile for sandwiches, sliders, or accompanying savory dishes. Nutritionally, a single roll typically provides around 90-140 calories, 16-20 grams of carbohydrates, 3-4 grams of sugar, and 3-4 grams of fat, depending on the recipe. They are usually made with enriched flour, sugar, butter, and milk, making them a moderate source of simple carbohydrates and fats, but relatively low in protein and fiber.

Health Benefits

• The sugar content provides a quick source of energy, beneficial for physical activity or replenishing glycogen stores.
• The small amount of calcium from milk or enriched flour supports bone health, delivering around 2-4% of the daily recommended intake per roll.
• Enriched flour used in the rolls may contain added B vitamins, such as thiamin and niacin, which are essential for energy metabolism.
