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. 

Not all sushi restaurants use brown rice.  I encourage everyone to ask for brown rice at their favorite sushi restaurant because it is much more nutritious.  Unless we ask for brown rice in sushi (or Chinese restaurants or wherever rice is served) white rice will continue to be the standard provision I'm afraid.
   
thanks so much for writing Linda and thank you so much for buying our book!
