Sushi novices looking for a familiar sushi roll will find comfort in the Philadelphia roll! Often called the Philly Roll, the Philadelphia roll was made famous due to the dollop of Philadelphia brand cream cheese that graces every bite.
With light ingredients that include smoked salmon, scallions, avocado and of course, cream cheese the Philadelphia roll is a blend of delicious and dangerous.
Let’s take a closer look at Philadelphia roll nutrition facts.
Major Nutrients Found In A Philadelphia Roll
As you can see from the Philadelphia roll nutrition facts, the Philly roll is high in saturated fat and sodium. This means you’ll need to be extra vigilant with your saturated fat and sodium intake for the rest of the day after consuming a Philadelphia roll. With more than 15 grams of protein from the smoked salmon, there are still nutritional benefits to eating a Philadelphia roll.
Storing/Selecting
You can be sure your Philadelphia roll is fresh if the salmon is pink and the avocado is bright green! Dull salmon and light green avocado and scallions are signs that your roll may be less than fresh. The cream cheese in your Philly roll should be firm, not melted or runny.
Store your Philadelphia roll in the refrigerator no more than two days, but keep in mind that the freshness of the avocado will be determined by how fresh it was at the time of purchase. If you buy a Philadelphia roll to eat for lunch, lemon juice will keep the avocado green for a few extra hours.
Eat It With:
The typical way to eat a Philadelphia roll is with a small drop of wasabi on each piece. Some sushi eaters prefer the wasabi-soy sauce-ginger mixture, but the wasabi alone adds the perfect hint of spice to go with the creaminess of the Philadelphia roll.
