Contrary to popular belief, Japanese cuisine is by no means always and not only fish and seafood. What is healthy, tasty and interesting in Japanese cuisine for vegans.
Rice
The basis of the foundations of Japanese cuisine – even in Japanese, the word “gohan” means not only rice, but food in general. It is a rich source of B vitamins, essential for health and wellness. B1 (thiamine) is called the vitality vitamin – it has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart and brain.
B5 (pantothenic acid) is needed for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and the synthesis of vital fatty acids. B9 is involved in cell division and protein metabolism. B2 (riboflavin), called the beauty vitamin, affects collagen formation and helps the absorption of other B vitamins.
In addition, rice contains vitamin E – the most “feminine” vitamin, a powerful antioxidant that promotes healthy skin, boosts immunity and eliminates free radicals.
