ONIGIRI 

Nutrition snapshot for 1 adult serving of 2 rice parcels WITHOUT any filling:

  • Total calories: 182 calories
  • Total fat: 0g
  • Total carbs: 40g
  • Total protein: 4g

Based on my analysis, it seems that this recipe could be part of a healthy diet and eaten daily. Adding meat and fish increases the protein content, while pickled vegetables can increase the amount of vitamins and minerals. Although white rice is not as nutritionally dense as whole grain rice, it is strongly recommended to use Japanese white rice in this recipe because its glutinous texture keeps the Onigiri from falling apart.
