What it is

White sushi rice is a type of short-grain Japonica rice. It is polished to remove the bran and germ, giving it a white color and a sticky texture when cooked. This stickiness is ideal for forming sushi rolls and nigiri.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use white sushi rice as a base ingredient for sushi and other rice-based dishes. Its sticky texture allows it to hold its shape, making it suitable for rolls, balls, and pressed rice components in various Asian-inspired meals and snacks.

Health notes

White sushi rice is a grain and a common carbohydrate source. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. Like other refined grains, it is lower in fiber and some nutrients compared to whole grains. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rice and its components.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Rice is not among the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
