Sushi, tuna nigiri

Tuna nigiri is a type of sushi made from shaped, cooked, seasoned rice topped with tuna, usually served raw. These figures describe the combined rice and fish, rather than tuna alone. It mainly provides carbohydrate from the rice and protein from the fish. Per 100g, it contains 30g of carbohydrate, 8.4g of protein, 2.5g of fat and 0.83g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Tuna nigiri also provides vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bones and teeth. Its salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, and added soy sauce can increase this. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
