Most traditional sushi is naturally gluten-free, as it typically consists of rice, fish, vegetables, and seaweed. However, some sushi rolls may contain gluten in ingredients like soy sauce, imitation crab (surimi), or tempura batter, so it’s important to check specific ingredients or ask the restaurant if you have gluten sensitivities.

High in protein: Fish and seafood in sushi are excellent sources of lean protein.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: Many fish used in sushi (like salmon and tuna) are high in heart-healthy omega-3s.
Low in calories: When prepared traditionally, sushi is generally low in calories.
Contains beneficial vitamins and minerals: Sushi often includes nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium.
Provides seaweed nutrients: Nori used in sushi rolls contains iodine, fiber, and various antioxidants.
Good source of carbohydrates: The rice in sushi provides energy-giving carbohydrates.
Offers vegetable nutrients: Many sushi rolls include vegetables, adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
May improve gut health: Fermented foods like pickled ginger often served with sushi can support digestive health.
Potentially reduces risk of heart disease: The combination of fish, seaweed, and vegetables may contribute to heart health.
Can aid in weight management: The balance of protein, carbs, and fats can help with feeling full and satisfied.Remember, these benefits can vary depending on the specific type of sushi and how it’s prepared. Some varieties may be higher in calories or sodium than others.

What is Tolerase® G?
A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).
