Did you know?
Sushi originated in Japan over 1,000 years ago as a method of preserving fish with fermented rice.
The most popular types include nigiri, maki, and sashimi (which is fish without rice).
Traditional sushi uses raw fish, but many modern varieties include cooked or vegetarian options.
Sushi is often served with soy sauce, but eating it without reduces sodium intake significantly.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Without soy sauce, sushi has lower sodium but still contains raw fish, which carries a small risk of foodborne illness.
Often low in fiber unless paired with vegetables or seaweed.
