What changes the calories in california roll
A California roll is rice, crab or imitation crab, avocado and cucumber rolled in seaweed. Most of its calories come from the rice, and the record is low in fat because the usual fillings are lean.
- Pieces: the page uses six 30 g pieces; a larger roll cut into eight pieces is more food.
- Mayonnaise and spicy sauce: if the roll is dressed with mayo, the record does not include it.
- Tempura or cream cheese: rolls with fried or creamy fillings are a different dish from this record.
- Sodium: 428 mg per 100 g comes largely from the seasoned rice and soy sauce, about 770 mg for six pieces.
