Sushi's hidden gluten

  • Sticky sushi rice is typically made with Japanese rice vinegar or rice wine that, you guessed it, contain gluten.

  • Even the sesame seeds that sometimes coat sushi rolls may be mixed with a wheat product.
  • And let’s not even get started on possible cross-contamination issues from tempura, soy sauce, and more.
