Spring rolls are a staple of several different East Asian cuisines. That makes sense. In America, they aren't as common as egg rolls, but egg rolls are also a little heavy. Spring rolls, though, tend to be lighter and healthier. This is mostly because of how the ingredients in the rolls are wrapped. That helps spring rolls fit into certain diets easier than other appetizers.

Spring rolls are especially good for people on low-carb diets. If you're looking to enjoy some dim sum, spring rolls are always a smart option. Even if you've never made them before, they're easy enough for you to handle if you follow these recipes. Enjoy some delicious, low-carb treats with these spring rolls!
