The fitness influencer Emelly Souza, 24, started including shirako in her diet. The ingredient is known for causing strangeness among those not familiar with Japanese cuisine.
Shirako, which can be translated as "white milk," is the semen of male fish and is usually served in restaurants in Japan. Emelly's choice stands out precisely because it deviates from the menu most associated with diets in the fitness universe.
Emelly learned about the food, became curious, and decided to try it before forming an opinion. According to her, her first reaction was also one of strangeness when she found out what it was.
After tasting it, however, Emelly liked the flavor and started occasionally including the ingredient in her meals.
