About Hawaiian rolls

Hawaiian rolls are a type of sweet, fluffy bread roll that originated in Hawai’i. They are heavily influenced by Portuguese sweet bread brought to the islands and have since become a popular bread choice in American cuisine. Their slightly sweet flavor is achieved through the addition of sugar, pineapple juice, and sometimes honey. A typical Hawaiian roll contains 90-110 calories per roll, with moderate amounts of carbohydrates, minimal protein, and low fat content. It is also moderately high in sodium due to the use of salt and commercial baking ingredients.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to carbohydrates, making them a good option for a rapid energy source (primarily from enriched wheat flour).
• Contains iron, an essential mineral for oxygen transport in the body, often added via fortification in commercial white bread products.
• May offer a small amount of niacin and folate, both B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and DNA synthesis (in fortified versions).

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, egg (in some recipes), dairy (in some recipes)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, vegan (if made with dairy or egg), low-carb

Selection and Storage

Store Hawaiian rolls in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Thaw frozen rolls at room temperature and warm them slightly before serving for best texture.

Common Questions About Hawaiian rolls Nutrition

Are Hawaiian rolls high in calories?

A single Hawaiian roll contains approximately 90 calories, with 16 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein. While they are not extremely high-calorie, they are calorie-dense for their small size due to their added sugar and butter content.

Can I eat Hawaiian rolls on a keto diet?

Hawaiian rolls are not suitable for a keto diet because they are high in carbohydrates, with about 16 grams per roll. Since keto diets typically limit carbohydrates to under 50 grams per day, even a single Hawaiian roll could make up a significant portion of that daily limit.

Are Hawaiian rolls healthy to eat?

Hawaiian rolls can be enjoyed in moderation but are not considered a health food. They contain added sugar and refined flour, which contribute to their high carbohydrate content and low fiber. However, they are a tasty treat for occasional indulgence and pair well with balanced meals.

What is the recommended serving size for Hawaiian rolls?

A typical serving size is one roll, which has around 90 calories. If you're planning a meal, consider pairing them with protein-rich options like lean meats or plant-based proteins to create a more balanced plate.

How do Hawaiian rolls compare to other types of dinner rolls?

Hawaiian rolls are sweeter than standard dinner rolls due to added sugar and pineapple juice, which give them their distinct flavor. They are also softer and more calorie-dense than traditional rolls, making them a popular choice for both sweetness and texture.
