About Uramaki

Uramaki, also known as inside-out sushi roll, is a popular Japanese dish that involves rice on the outside and nori (seaweed) wrapped around the inner fillings, which may include fish, seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. Originating from Japan but widely popularized in Western countries, uramaki is highly adaptable, allowing for varied fillings and toppings. Nutritionally, a standard serving provides approximately 167 calories, 6.7g of protein, 23.3g of carbohydrates, and 3.3g of fat, with additional micronutrients like iron and calcium. It is a reasonably balanced food option with low fat, moderate protein, and high carbohydrates, often enriched with fiber and omega-3s depending on the ingredients used.

Health Benefits

• Good source of lean protein, often derived from fish or seafood, essential for muscle repair and development.
• Rich in omega-3 fatty acids if made with salmon or tuna, promoting heart and brain health.
• Provides dietary fiber from vegetables and seaweed, aiding digestive health and supporting regularity.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains fish, shellfish, soy (from soy sauce), gluten (if using regular soy sauce), sesame (frequently used as topping)

Suitable for: Pescatarian, low-fat diets, high-protein diets (depending on fillings)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if containing fish or seafood), gluten-free (unless gluten-free soy sauce is used), strict vegetarian (if containing seafood or fish)

Selection and Storage

Consume uramaki fresh; if storing, refrigerate promptly in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours to maintain quality and safety.

Common Questions About Uramaki Nutrition

Is uramaki high in protein?

Uramaki contains around 6.67 grams of protein per 100 grams. This protein content primarily comes from ingredients like fish, tofu, or other protein-rich fillings, making it a moderate source of protein compared to other sushi types like sashimi, which has higher protein levels.

Can I eat uramaki on a keto diet?

Uramaki is not suitable for a keto diet because it contains around 23.33 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, largely due to the white rice used in its preparation. You may modify it by substituting rice with cauliflower rice or opting for a no-rice sushi alternative.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating uramaki?

Uramaki can be a balanced meal when prepared with fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients like fish, which provides omega-3 fatty acids, and vegetables for vitamins and minerals. However, concerns arise from its sodium content (266.67 mg per 100 grams) and potential high sugar levels in the rice vinegar. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to minimize these issues.

What is the recommended portion size for uramaki?

A standard serving size of uramaki usually consists of 6-8 pieces, or about 200-250 grams, providing approximately 333-416 calories. Adjust the portion based on your dietary requirements and activity level, especially since uramaki can be calorically dense from rice and added ingredients like sauces.

How does uramaki compare to other sushi types?

Compared to sashimi, which has no rice, uramaki is higher in carbohydrates and calories due to the rice and sometimes added sauces. It offers more versatility in fillings and toppings compared to nigiri but may include additional calories from condiments like mayonnaise or tempura flakes.
