Rolls and sushi, traditional for Japanese cuisine, have become very popular far beyond the Land of the Rising Sun. At the same time, the number of establishments that offer these exotic dishes to try, as well as the number of ready-made sushi sets on supermarket shelves, is increasing day by day.
Sushi and rolls are dishes whose main ingredients are rice vinegar and rice, fish (raw in most recipes), seaweed (nori), wasabi, soy sauce, and ginger. First of all, they are useful in that often the seafood that is used in their preparation is not subjected to heat treatment and retains a high content of minerals, vitamins and other useful substances.
Nori is a source of iron, vitamins and iodine. Wasabi contains vitamin C and antioxidants, plus it has antiseptic properties and helps protect teeth from tooth decay. Ginger, in turn, improves digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties.
In addition, these dishes are hearty and at the same time low in calories, and their main ingredients - rice and fish - go well with each other and are suitable for all those who adhere to separate meals. That is precisely why the sushi diet arose, according to which it is worth organizing a kind of fasting day once a week, during which you can only eat sushi and rolls.
But, despite the fact that such a cuisine is healthy, there are some negative aspects of eating rolls and sushi. So, they should not be abused by allergy sufferers (after all, red fish, which is used for sushi, can be a strong allergen for such people), as well as those who suffer from peptic ulcer disease, gastritis or have any pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Another danger lies in the fact that these "Japanese" dishes, prepared in Russia, may hardly resemble the original ones. So, for example, if in Japan raw fish is added to sushi only fresh, we can have it not only for a couple of hours, but for a day, and this makes the product quite dangerous for the body. So you should avoid Japanese restaurants with a dubious reputation.
In addition, according to the advice of doctors, it is worth, if possible, give preference to rolls and sushi, in which raw fish is replaced by smoked eel, lightly salted salmon or boiled shrimp. In addition, in order not to poison yourself with low-quality dishes, before you start eating rolls or sushi, you must definitely smell them. They should not be eaten if they smell like ammonia.
