sushi question - does anyone know?


Quote  |  Reply

Does anyone know roughly how much sushi rice is in 6 or 8 pieces of sushi? I've heard about 1/4-1/2 a cup, but that can't be true. Stop and Shop sushi has almost too much rice, and comes with nutrition facts, which say 3 pieces is 90 cals (making the whole box 270 cals), which is confusing because the rice alone, would be about 300 cals. I'm so confused, how much rice is in these things!?

It's about 2 tbsp of rice per piece.

sushi rice  volume cooked vs uncooked varies a lot!

I am asian, so I cook rice almost everyday.

1/3 raw rice(short or medium grain) is about 176 calories.

that cooked (steamed rice = rice + 1.5 to 2  times the water) is around half cup to one full cup.

1/3 raw rice is more than enough to make a full roll of sushi. So I would say the rice in the sushi is about 150-180 calorie

helpful helpful! thank you so much!
