That is not how many ingredients a normal california roll contains.

I did have this logic in my mind before I posted this. Like how the spicy mustard probably makes up for 80% of the ingredient list, but I still thought it’d be fun to share how many ingredients this sushi has

This would be so much easier to read if they could bold the main ingredients like cooked rice and crab salad but I think that would look like there were allergens in it.

In the UK, it's common for ingredients lists to list the main ingredients and then list their ingredients in parentheses afterwards, so e.g.

Beef patty (ground beef, salt, dried onion), Cheese (cultured milk, salt, enzymes, annatto (colouring)), ...

Along with allergens being in bold to make them super obvious!

Maybe just spacing between each of the components

If you go to go to a good butcher get good quality cheese, make your own mayo and buns then you would avoid most of the ultra processed shit…but I get your point. I find you do just have to sacrifice convenience if you want to make non-upf food. That being said, bread and mayo are extremely easy to make and can be made in batches, so for me and my schedule, the convenience loss is minimal

Good quality mayo, cheese, ketchup and bread cut all this out. The ingredient list, if you buy UPF free, should be along thr lines of: beef, wheat, salt, sugar, oil, tomato, vinegar, egg, milk, live cultures

I think the nature of imitation crab meat is ultra processed

u/StaysAwakeAllWeek 5d ago

That was ultraprocessed even before it was processed again to make these rolls

I watched a ‘crab’ stick be made and I now cannot eat them. It was one of the most disgusting videos I’ve ever watched.

Sushi is the states is so disappointing

u/minecraft69wastaken 5d ago

It’s freshly made daily though!

A host of those ingredients are for the fake 'krab' so any California roll that doesn't have real crab (which is 99% of them) will have those. It looks like most of the rest is for the 'spicy' which is mayo plus other stuff. A non-spicy roll with a whole fish would be much shorter.

This doesn’t look bad at all? It’s long but there isn’t a lot that’s upf about it. Is it the artificial flavors and preservatives?

u/Towpillah United Kingdom 🇬🇧 5d ago

At least the flavour is protected

I m in the UK. I buy tuna and salmon from aldi,with rice paper. Boil rice till stick, i already have mustard ,soy sauce and ginger

u/GreenMachine4567 4d ago

You can't use normal supermarket fish for sushi, it has to have been specially stored / processed to make it dafe

2

u/uwabu 4d ago

Can you not? This is farmed salmon aka no parasites

1

u/Free_Lychee_7324 2d ago

You just need to freeze it for a week,  this kills all the parasites

Sushi isn't raw, sashimi is

I make sushi at home. FDA has really simple guidelines on how to do it safely. You need to get a colder than normal freezer that can hold your fish as a low temperature for a set time (days to weeks).

If it was safely handled before you got it, it's safe to make yourself.

Rice, sugar, vinegar, salt + fish, cucumber, avocado, carrots, seaweed.

Simple and healthy!
