The origin of sushi is believed to have been during the second century A.D. in Southeast Asia because of the need to keep meat fresh without refrigeration. They would cure meat and fish and wrap it in rice to preserve its freshness.
The term sushi comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means it's sour, a reflection of its historic fermented roots. The science behind the fermentation of fish packed in rice is that the vinegar produced from fermenting rice breaks the fish down into amino acids.
