How Are These Sushi Wraps Healthy?
All of the elements that go inside sushi are healthy, California rolls included. California rolls usually consist of imitation crab meat, avocado, and cucumber. Imitation crab is a variety of minced fish combined with egg whites and other elements to mimick real crab meat. It contains high levels of phosphorus, which is great for bone and teeth health. Avocado contains high traces of Omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies need to be healthy. Lastly, cucumber is a low-calorie and high-potassium vegetable. Bring in brown rice for its low glycemic index and tomatoes for their high levels of lycopene and you have an uber-healthy meal that tastes just like takeout sushi!
