Uhhmm... i don't want to ruin the moment but has anyone of you here ever seen the case of "worms eating brains" in a Japanese because of sushi? If not, and your up to some challenging images, try search in google, "worms in brain" or something like that.
It all depends on how the sushi is served, how often a person eats it, how long the fish was frozen, etc.
To really be safe, it is a must for the the sashimi to be frozen for at least 24 hours before serving because the freezing helps ride the fish of parasites.
By comparison, Ikizukuri (live sushi or sashimi freshly served from a live fish) is tastier and at the same time unhealthier. People who eat sashimi or sushi this way are the most likely to suffer from parasites in their bodies.
i heard raw fish is hard to digest
Although sushi is still considered a kind of a novelty in other parts of the world, it started many hundreds of years ago in rural Japan with the tradition of preserving fish in vinegared rice. The word sushi actually means exactly that (vinegared rice). It was then just a simple way to preserve fish and the rice was later discarded and only the fish was consumed. It took centuries for the sushi to develop in the forms that we know today. Up until the 19th century the sushi wasn't even that popular in many parts of Japan.
Sushi
The world quest of the sushi started from the street stalls of Tokio after the Second World War. Those stalls were the Japanese fast food. However, that is where the comparison with fast food ends. Unlike the fast food, sushi is a healthy food and won't make you fat.
The sushi conquest of North America started in the 1960's in California, when a Japanese sushi chef created and popularized a sushi roll designed for the American clientele. Realizing the dislike of American people to eat raw fish, he replaced the traditional tuna with avocado, and made the roll inside-out, so customers don't have to bite on the seaweed first. This sushi roll was called California roll, and to this day still remains the most popular form of sushi in America.
Over the last 40 years sushi gained tremendous popularity among health-conscious people and gourmet enthusiasts as a healthy and tasty food. Some of the health benefits of eating sushi are:
- no cholesterol
- no unhealthy fats
- lots of Omega-6 healthy fatty acids
- lots of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals
- rice is a natural source of zinc, a mineral which boosts your immune system,
helps your *** drive and healthy hair.
- the nori sheets (seaweed) contain many valuable sea minerals and also antioxidants
- good nutritional value and protein content from the rice and the fish
- fish contains lots of vitamin E, which reduces the risk of cardio-vascular disease and
lowers your cholesterol
- the health risks of eating raw fish are smaller than that of eating cooked chicken or beef
- because of the above reasons, sushi is not fattening as some other kinds of fast food
Because health-conscious customers usually have better spending power and more disposible income, that led to the rapid growth in numbers of sushi bars all across North America. Nowadays there is hardly a grocery store that doesn't offer store-made sushi boxes.
