Crispy rice sushi can be gluten-free, but it depends on the specific ingredients used. While traditional sushi rice is naturally gluten-free, the crispy coating may contain gluten if made with wheat-based ingredients, so it’s important to check with the restaurant or recipe to confirm if it’s truly gluten-free.
Low in calories: Rice and fish are generally low in calories, making it a good option for weight management.
High in protein: Fish used in sushi, such as salmon or tuna, is an excellent source of lean protein.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: If made with fatty fish like salmon, it can provide heart-healthy omega-3s.
Good source of carbohydrates: The rice provides energy-giving carbohydrates.
Contains essential vitamins and minerals: Fish and vegetables used in sushi can provide various nutrients like vitamin D, B vitamins, and selenium.
Potential source of fiber: If vegetables or seaweed are included, it can provide dietary fiber.
Iodine content: Seaweed used in sushi rolls is a good source of iodine, important for thyroid function.
Low in saturated fat: Generally, sushi is low in unhealthy fats.
Antioxidants: If it includes vegetables or certain types of fish, it can provide antioxidants.
Portion control: Sushi is often served in small portions, which can aid in controlling intake.Note: The actual health benefits can vary based on the specific ingredients used and preparation method. The “crispy” element might add extra calories and fat, potentially reducing some health benefits.

Pregnant women, due to the potential risks associated with consuming raw fish
Young children, as their immune systems are still developing
Individuals with a history of foodborne illness susceptibility
People with specific dietary restrictions that prohibit rice or seafood
Those with soy allergies, as soy sauce is often used in sushi preparation
Individuals on a low-sodium diet, as sushi can be high in sodium
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
