As the saying goes, "people are iron rice and steel." As the staple food we eat most often, rice shoulders the important task of providing energy for our day's activities. Many people pay attention to the supplement of vitamins and minerals, but ignore rice. In fact, eating nutritious and healthy rice at every meal is the fastest way to achieve health and diet.

The most important thing is to choose rice

1, it is best to choose new rice, which has less chances of mildew and bacterial infection and better taste.

2. There are often opaque white spots on the abdomen of rice. The bigger the white point, the lower the protein content of rice and the higher the starch content.

3. The hardness of rice is determined by the content of protein. The hardness of rice is stronger, the protein content is higher and the transparency is better. Therefore, it is best to choose rice with higher hardness.

The practice of rice

First of all, Taomi. Wash rice as gently as possible. Don't wash it too many times to avoid nutrient loss. It is best not to wash it more than three times. Soak rice in cold water 1 hour if you have time after washing rice, so that the rice grains can fully absorb water. When cooking, the ratio of rice to water is 1: 1.2. Put your forefinger into rice washing water, as long as the water exceeds the first joint between your forefinger and rice. Bian Xiao's personal test is effective.

Cooking requires adding materials.

Rice is very inclusive, and all kinds of ingredients can be cooked (I have no complaints about adding noodles to rice). Now that rice processing has gone through layers of processes, there is a certain loss of nutrition, so adding other coarse grains to cook with rice will play a supplementary role. Among them, the combination of beans and rice is the most ideal, because beans are rich in dietary fiber and the digestion speed of starch is very slow, which is the most effective for preventing chronic diseases.

Pay attention to cooking.

1, cooking must be cooked, raw rice is easy to cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating and stomachache, leading to intestinal dysfunction.

2, cooking can not be cooked too soft, the absorption of starch will accelerate after cooking rice for too long, which will easily lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar, which is more dangerous for patients with three highs.

3. Don't eat overnight. In addition to the problem of bacterial growth, repeated heating of rice will make starch more easily absorbed, which will have adverse effects on the body.
