About Sushi rice cooked

Sushi rice, typically made from short-grain or medium-grain Japonica rice, is a staple in Japanese cuisine. After cooking, it is seasoned with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, giving it a slightly tangy and subtly sweet flavor. This rice is sticky, making it ideal for molding and rolling into sushi. Cooked sushi rice provides a moderate amount of carbohydrates, a low protein content, and negligible fat. It also contains small amounts of essential nutrients like B vitamins, particularly thiamin and niacin, and trace minerals such as magnesium and selenium, which contribute to energy production and cell function. Its calorie content is moderate, typically around 130 calories per 100 grams when prepared, making it an energy-dense but low-fat food choice.

How does cooked sushi rice compare with other types of rice?

Cooked sushi rice has a sticky texture due to its higher starch content compared to long-grain varieties like basmati or jasmine rice. While it is ideal for sushi preparation, it has a higher glycemic index than some whole-grain options like brown rice, which provide more fiber and are more suitable for blood sugar control.
