Ebiko
ไข่กุ้ง
Commercial "Ebiko" widely used in Japanese cuisine is typically seasoned Capelin roe (or Flying fish roe/Tobiko), celebrated for its signature crunchy texture and savory, mildly salty popping bite. Packed with high-quality protein and healthy Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) that support cardiovascular and brain health. Naturally low in calories, but contains added sodium and moderate cholesterol from the curing process; best enjoyed as a flavor-enhancing topping in measured portions.

Cooking Tips : Primarily used raw as a vibrant garnish for sushi, salads, poke bowls, or pasta. Avoid direct high-heat cooking to maintain its signature popping texture.
