About Philadelphia sushi roll

The Philadelphia Sushi Roll, a fusion dish popularized in the United States, combines traditional Japanese ingredients with Western additions, such as cream cheese, which gives it its name. It typically includes sushi rice, nori (seaweed), smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber or avocado. This sushi roll provides a balance of macronutrients, with notable amounts of protein and healthy fats from salmon and fiber from cucumber or avocado. However, it is moderately high in calories due to the inclusion of cream cheese and sushi rice.

Health Benefits

• Contains vitamin B12 from the smoked salmon, essential for red blood cell production and neurological health.
• Provides a source of dietary fiber and potassium if made with avocado, promoting digestive health and healthy blood pressure levels.

Common Questions About Philadelphia sushi roll Nutrition

Is a Philadelphia Sushi Roll high in protein?

A Philadelphia Sushi Roll typically contains 8-12 grams of protein per serving, depending on the portion size and type of fish used (commonly salmon). The creamy cheese and fish contribute most of the protein. It's a moderate source of protein but may not be ideal as a standalone protein-rich meal.

Can I eat a Philadelphia Sushi Roll on a keto diet?

Philadelphia Sushi Rolls are generally not keto-friendly due to the rice, which is high in carbohydrates. A single roll can contain 30-40 grams of carbs. To make it keto-compatible, you can request a roll without rice (also known as a 'sashimi-style' roll) or wrap it in cucumber instead of rice.

Are there any health concerns with eating a Philadelphia Sushi Roll?

While it can be a tasty option, the Philadelphia Sushi Roll often contains cream cheese, which is high in saturated fat and calories. Additionally, the sodium content from soy sauce or smoked salmon can be high, so it's best to eat it in moderation, especially if you're watching sodium or fat intake.

What is the recommended portion size for a Philadelphia Sushi Roll?

A standard portion is one roll, typically sliced into 6-8 pieces, ranging from 250-400 calories. This can make for a light meal or snack, but pairing it with a side of soup or salad can create a more balanced meal.

How does a Philadelphia Sushi Roll compare to a California Roll?

A Philadelphia Roll contains smoked salmon, cream cheese, and often cucumber, making it richer and creamier than a California Roll which uses imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado. In terms of calories, Philadelphia Rolls are often higher due to the cream cheese, while California Rolls may have slightly fewer calories and a more neutral flavor profile.
