Rainbow Sushi: Colorful Bites

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

According to a well-known myth, there is treasure hidden at the end of every rainbow. However, you don’t have to go on a long treasure hunt for these gems, because you can easily bring the rainbow home with you: Rainbow sushi is currently the hottest trend in the colorful food world. EAT SMARTER tells you how the beautiful colors work.

Colorful bites

Milk foam, rainbow bagels, and melted cheese already shine in the bright colors of the rainbow – and now also the fine fish specialty from Japan: rainbow sushi is one of the hottest trends in the food sector. What looks here, as if someone had rediscovered their paint box and went wildly wrong because there is work and patience behind this rainbow art.

This is how rainbow sushi succeeds

The individual layers of rice, which will later shine in the colors of the rainbow, first have to be colored before they are carefully rolled up. This works great with natural dyes such as turmeric for yellow, matcha for green, or beetroot for a pink tone. Depending on how much “color” is used, the color and flavor intensity of the sushi will also change.

The colored pieces of rice are then placed one after the other on the algae sheet so that longitudinal stripes form. The only thing missing is the ingredients for your favorite sushi, which are placed lengthwise in the middle. Roll the whole thing up carefully and tightly, cut into bite-sized pieces and the rainbow sushi is done in its brightest colors!

Finger food is so healthy

The typical ingredient for sushi is fish of all kinds: salmon, tuna, or eel are either rolled in seaweed sheets or placed on rice balls. A healthy choice because fish contains essential fatty acids, important minerals, and high-quality animal protein.

With only around seven grams of fat per 100 grams of sushi, the meal is also one of the lower-fat variants with a low-calorie content. The fine ingredients are rolled in dried nori sheets, which are loaded with iodine and other trace elements. The fresh vegetables then provide the necessary vitamin kick! There’s more to the little rolls than you think.
