What is Brown Rice Sushi? - from the Biggest Loser Nutritionist's Mailbag...

Hi Cheryl,
I just purchased your book "The Biggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start". One of the items it mentions is "California brown rice sushi roll". Can you tell me what that is? I've searched the Internet and can't find a description. I'm not sure I'll find it, but if I know what it is, I can try to get a substitute.
Any information you provide will be very appreciated.
Thanks!
Linda

Dear Linda,
California roll is a type of sushi. Typical sushi rolls are rolled in dried seaweed, which is on the outside of the sushi roll.

California rolls on the other hand, are made inside-out, with the seaweed on the inside. They usually contain crabmeat and avocado too.

But the distinction that I emphasized in the book is that unlike typical sushi which is made with WHITE rice (remember white stuff: white pasta, white rice, white sugar, white flour are NOT a part of the Jumpstart plan), brown rice sushi is made with brown rice.
