There are many kinds of zongzi in Taiwan Province Province, including southern zongzi, northern zongzi and Hakka zongzi. However, the dumplings on the market are rich in fillings, and the glutinous rice is solid, with an average calorie of more than 500 calories. Add the sauce and peanut powder, one by one, and the weight will get out of control if you are not careful. Therefore, before the festival, the nutrition team of Taipei Health Bureau and Taipei United Hospital improved the traditional glutinous rice dumplings, replaced some traditional glutinous rice with high-fiber konjac rice, and developed five lines of creative salty konjac dumplings and high-fiber dumplings with sweet mouth, suggesting people to eat dumplings healthily.

Southern zongzi is boiled in boiling water until it is cooked, and its taste is light.

Lin Yujie, a nutritionist at Taipei United Hospital, said that the glutinous rice in the north will be fried with stuffing first, then wrapped in glutinous rice leaves and steamed in a steamer. The traditional southern zongzi is made of raw glutinous rice without sauce, and the whole string is cooked in boiling water until it is cooked thoroughly, so the southern zongzi is relatively low in calories and light in taste.

The mixed cooking heat of konjac rice and glutinous rice is relatively low.

Five-element creative salty glutinous rice balls and a sweet high-fiber glutinous rice ball are all southern practices, which reduce the intake of oil. Konjac rice is lower in calories and richer in dietary fiber than traditional glutinous rice. It is cooked with glutinous rice 1: 1 to make cake crust. In addition to white glutinous rice, bamboo charcoal powder, red rice powder, turmeric powder and matcha powder can also be added to make naughty colors, which can present colorful five-element zongzi. Nutritionist Lin Yujie pointed out that the dipping sauces commonly used for zongzi are sweet and spicy sauce, soy sauce and so on. Most of them are high in oil, sugar and salt, so it is best to dip them in the right amount or avoid them directly to enjoy the natural characteristics and aroma of the ingredients.

The calorie of stuffing-free alkali dumplings is 150 calories.

Sweet zongzi is also the favorite taste of Dragon Boat Festival. Whether it is red bean paste alkaline zongzi or another sweet zongzi with eight treasures, it tastes sweet and delicious. Nutritionist Lin Yujie said that the calorie of alkaline glutinous rice balls without stuffing is about 150 calories, and the calorie after adding sweet stuffing is between 250-350 calories. If syrup or powdered sugar is added, the calories will increase by 100 calories! It is best to take it in moderation.

Eat fruit and vegetable zongzi in moderation and increase exercise.

The Taipei Municipal Health Bureau appealed to the public that zongzi should be delicious, but it should be eaten in moderation, with fruits and vegetables, and the exercise hours should be increased appropriately. If you slightly increase the amount of exercise by 65,438+00-30 minutes every day, you can eat happily and healthily.
