FAQ

Is it safe to eat this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
In general, limit tuna during pregnancy and nursing; consider using cooked tuna or a plant-based protein instead and consult your clinician for personalized advice.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes—use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, and check other ingredients for hidden gluten.
What substitutions can I use to make it vegetarian or pescatarian?
Vegetarian: swap tuna for firm tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas; pescatarian: keep tuna or substitute with salmon, and adjust the marinade if needed.
How should I store leftovers and how long will they keep?
Best eaten fresh; store components separately in the fridge; tuna can spoil quickly—use within 1 day and reassemble before eating.
What are the nutritional benefits of pomegranate and yuzu in this bowl?
Pomegranate provides fiber and polyphenols; yuzu offers vitamin C and aroma; together they boost antioxidants and flavor.
How can I adapt the bowl to support gut-friendly nutrition?
Add fiber-rich greens and whole grains (brown rice or quinoa), more vegetables, and keep the dressing portion moderate to support gentle digestion.
What protein options and substitutions work well?
Tuna gives lean protein; alternatives include grilled chicken, salmon, tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas.
How can I adjust the dish for different calories or macro goals?
For more protein, add extra tuna or tofu; for fewer calories, reduce rice and dressing and increase vegetables; choose brown rice for more fiber.
Where can I buy yuzu juice or zest if I can't find it locally?
Look in Asian markets or online; if not available, substitute with lemon or lime juice and zest.
