About Philadelphia roll

The Philadelphia Roll is a popular sushi roll originating from Japanese cuisine but adapted and modernized in the United States. It typically features ingredients such as smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and sushi rice wrapped in seaweed (nori). This roll combines the omega-3 fatty acid richness of salmon with the creamy texture of cream cheese, supported by carbohydrates from the rice and healthy fats from the avocado. Typically, a Philadelphia Roll provides around 300-400 calories per serving, offering a balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates alongside essential vitamins like B12, D, and E.

Health Benefits

• High in omega-3 fatty acids from smoked salmon, which support heart health and brain function.
• Rich source of vitamin B12 (from salmon) for red blood cell production and energy metabolism.
• Contains monounsaturated fats from avocado, which help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
• Provides a good amount of iodine from nori, essential for thyroid function.
• Includes adequate protein to support muscle repair and a feeling of satiety.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains fish (salmon), milk (cream cheese), soy (in some soy sauce, if used), gluten (if soy sauce with gluten is included)

Common Questions About Philadelphia roll Nutrition

Is a Philadelphia Roll high in protein?

The Philadelphia Roll contains moderate protein levels due to the smoked salmon and cream cheese. On average, one roll (6 pieces) provides about 11-15 grams of protein, depending on the portion size and specific recipe.

Can I eat a Philadelphia Roll on a keto diet?

A traditional Philadelphia Roll is not keto-friendly due to the white rice, which is high in carbohydrates (approximately 30-40g per roll). For a keto-friendly version, you can substitute the rice with cauliflower rice or omit it altogether.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating a Philadelphia Roll?

The smoked salmon in Philadelphia Rolls is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the smoked fish and soy sauce commonly served with sushi. People watching their sodium intake should be cautious.

What is the recommended portion size for a Philadelphia Roll?

A standard serving size of a Philadelphia Roll is one roll (6-8 pieces), which typically contains 250-300 calories. Pair it with a side of vegetables or a salad to create a more balanced meal without over-consuming calories.

How does a Philadelphia Roll compare to other sushi rolls like a California Roll?

Compared to a California Roll, a Philadelphia Roll is higher in fat due to the cream cheese. While the Philadelphia Roll provides more omega-3s from the smoked salmon, a California Roll is generally lower in calories and sodium. Both rolls offer unique flavors, so the choice depends on your dietary goals and taste preferences.
