FAQs

What is in a volcano roll made of? ›

The answer is yes, you can eat sushi while pregnant, as long as you choose cooked or fully cooked options, and avoid raw fish and high-mercury fish.

Hot magma and water vapor seem incompatible. Yet, water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lesser amounts of rarer gases take up as much as ten percent of the magma (by weight) that lies beneath some Cascade volcanoes.

Start by making the cone of your baking soda volcano by mixing 6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tablespoons cooking oil, and 2 cups of water. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (add more water if needed). Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it to form a volcano shape.

Pick your fish

Freshwater fish like yellow perch or brook trout aren't safe to eat raw, so stick to saltwater species for your sushi. “As far as raw fish goes, tuna tends to have the lowest risk of food-borne illness,” Patton says. “You can also ask for cooked fish in your sushi. Shrimp and crab are usually cooked.”

According to a registered dietician, healthy adults can safely consume 2-3 sushi rolls, which means 10-15 pieces of sushi per week. However, the statistics are different for the elderly, pregnant women and others with the compromised digestive system.

In addition to concerns about bacteria and parasites, some types of fish used in sushi—such as bigeye and yellowfin tuna, swordfish and marlin—contain high levels of mercury, a toxic metal that can cause serious birth defects, including brain damage, blindness and deafness.

Ninety-nine percent of the gas molecules emitted during a volcanic eruption are water vapor (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). The remaining one percent is comprised of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and other minor gas species.

The 'smoke' you see billowing out of a volcano is actually a mix of mostly water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur gases (and ash, during an eruption and depending on the volcano).

The mysterious orange balls on sushi do have a name: tobiko. This translates to flying fish roe, which is used in Japanese cuisine and commonly in sushi. Tobiko are small fish eggs in comparison to salmon roe, for example. But Tobiko is larger than masago, which is capelin roe.

Other than sushi rolls, a sushi mat is also used to perfect the shape of other Japanese dishes, such as rolled omelets (tamago-yaki). Traditional sushi mats are made from bamboo but recently those made from plastic and silicone are also available.
