Sushi with celery rice and ginger-radish-wasabi

The raw vegan sushi with celery rice and ginger-radish-wasabi is filled with pepper, avocado and carrot.

Nutrient profile: According to GDA guidelines, one portion covers more than twice the average daily requirement of vitamin K and more than 100% of that of vitamin C. Vitamin A, potassium, iodine and copper are covered by more than 50%. We were able to increase the fatty acid values by replacing almond butter with walnuts. Their ratio is now 5:1, which does not exceed the recommended maximum ratio of 5:1. We have reduced the salt content by making adjustments.

Nori: Nori is a sweet-tasting, wafer-thin roasted or dried seaweed. It is available in the form of square, paper-like sheets, mostly made from red algae of the species Porphyra yezoensis or Porphyra tenera. Green nori, which you can buy in stores for sushi, is roasted and not raw. However, you can also buy raw nori sheets, which are dark brown instead of green.

Celery: Celeriac is a cultivated form of marsh celery. Like the two other varieties of real celery, celery and celery, celeriac is used in the kitchen as a vegetable. Celeriac has a spicy taste that stimulates the appetite and digestion, which it owes to its essential oils. In naturopathy, it is used to support rheumatism, stomach and intestinal disorders, and kidney and bladder problems.

Carrots and vitamin A: Carrots are one of the low-calorie vegetables. They are particularly rich in carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which gives them their typical orange color. Vitamin A is important for our eyesight, among other things, but also for the immune system.

Avocados: Avocados have a higher fat content than any other known fruit and vegetable. They are also rich in potassium and unsaturated fatty acids, although the ratio of LA:ALA is not optimal at 15:1. For information on how to prevent browning and storage, see Tips.

Nori and iodine: Most nori comes from specially cultivated algae cultures in Japan and Korea. You should eat the algae in moderation, as they have a high iodine content. Iodine is an essential trace element that is particularly necessary for the production of certain thyroid hormones. A deficiency results in an underactive thyroid, but too much intake can overwhelm the thyroid and be harmful to health. The iodine content in algae varies depending on the variety, harvest time, place of growth and processing. You can find more information on the ingredient iodine.

Preventing avocado and celery from turning brown: Cutting celery and avocado causes a break in the affected cell walls, which exposes the ingredients to the oxidation process. This in turn causes the fruit to turn brown. Adding lemon or lime juice can prevent this and also adds a good taste to the dish.

Storage of avocados: Avocados are harvested when they are unripe. To ripen them, it is best to place avocados next to apples (or put them together in a paper bag) and store them at room temperature. The apple emits the gas ethylene, which promotes ripening.

Soy sauce for dipping: Nama Shoyu is a good dipping sauce. Compared to other soy sauces, it is unpasteurized; it is not heated at the end of the maturing process, but rather simply filtered, which is why it is often used in raw food cooking. However, we do not generally consider soy sauce to be a raw food, since soybeans are heated at the beginning of the production process in order to destroy the glycoprotein phasin, which is toxic to humans.

Additional ginger pieces, marinated in a little orange juice, also taste very delicious with celery sushi.

Filling: You can make raw sushi in many different ways. Depending on your taste, season and location, the filling can be varied: cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, etc.

For the rice substitute: As a "rice substitute" you can use cauliflower instead of celery. You can also add any herbs you like.

Wasabi: Instead of the wasabi substitute, you can also use commercial wasabi.
