You probably don't think of America when you think of Sushi, but the premium quality Californian rice is used in Sushi restaurants all over the world.

China was probably the first country to create a form of Sushi, although very different to what we know today, where raw, salted fish was coated with cooked rice to preserve it. But the form of Sushi we know today originated in Japan about 200 years ago.

The main ingredients used in Sushi are rice, Su (rice vinegar), Nori (seaweed) and an assortment of the freshest, thinly sliced raw fish, Sashimi. It's low in fat and calories and the fish ensures that it's high in Omega-3 fatty acids.

The term Sushi actually means sour and refers to the vinegared rice not the raw fish, so great Sushi starts with making great rice. Rice is the most important ingredient in Sushi making, without well-prepared rice even the best Sushi making can suffer.
