Usually when we introduce glutinous rice food such as Tangyuan, Lantern Festival, New Year Cake, Zongzi and so on, we will add that glutinous rice is not easy to digest and should not eat more. So in everyones mind, sticky rice food is not easy to digest seems to have become a conclusion. However, I have never felt that glutinous rice is not easy to digest. Instead, I feel very comfortable after eating it. So glutinous rice is not easy to digest, not a word can draw a conclusion. In fact, from the structure, glutinous rice is better than ordinary rice digestion, the same cooking method, glutinous rice than rice blood sugar is faster, but why do we think that glutinous rice food is not digestible? There are many problems involved, such as the starch structure of glutinous rice, such as the method of making glutinous rice food, such as the matching ingredients used in making, the amount of food eaten, whether it is cold or hot, and so on. These aspects make the glutinous rice food have different effects on our body and make some peoples intestines and stomach overwhelmed. Too professional things are dull and tasteless, and nobody likes to see them. Today, take Tangyuan and Lantern Festival as examples, and simply talk about how to eat Tangyuan healthily. First, ask a few questions. 1. Are you eating Lantern Festival or Tangyuan? 2. Sweet stuffing or salty stuffing? 3. Whether it is sweet or salty, do you add lard? 4. How many do you usually eat at a time? 5. Is it meant as staple food and other dishes, or as dessert after dinner? 6. Is it cooked soft and hot, or cold? In fact, if you answer these questions, you should be able to get the answer. Okay, lets analyze it one by one. To solve the problem, in fact, there are six principles for healthy eating of Tangyuan. First, Lantern Festival or Tangyuan? Traditionally, the northern part of China eats Lantern Festival and the southern part eats Tangyuan. Although they are all made of glutinous rice, the methods of making them are quite different. Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice powder wrapped in stuffing, while Tangyuan is made of glutinous rice soup with water and dough. It can be seen from the method of making peel that the Lantern Festival is drier, and the filling of the Lantern Festival is usually drier, while the Tangyuan contains more water. Naturally, when cooked, the Lantern Festival is not easy to cook thoroughly. After cooked, the skin and filling will be slightly harder. The dough of Tangyuan is easier to cook and soften. If it is half-cooked Lantern Festival skin, coupled with a slightly hard filling, naturally not easy to digest. So the Lantern Festival should be cooked a little more, from stuffing to skin, thoroughly cooked. Second: Sweet or salty? Normally, people in the North eat sweet stuffing, such as bean paste, jujube paste, black sesame, Wuren, sweet-scented osmanthus, hawthorn and so on. Most people in the south are salty stuffing, usually all kinds of meat stuffing. Sweet stuffing is basically made of vegetable ingredients, and it is recommended that food should be eaten in moderation, such as beans, nuts and so on. Hawthorn is a good source of gum, while black sesame and various nuts are also good sources of dietary fiber. From this point of view, the vegetable stuffing of Lantern Festival or Tangyuan is still good. Salted stuffing is usually a variety of meat, fresh meat, processed meat products. Compared with vegetarian food, meat itself is more difficult to digest, and the meat made into dumplings is usually not too thin. If you want to taste good, you will add some fat parts, which will digest more slowly. Whether it is black sesame, five kernels or meat stuffing, the energy content is very high, glutinous rice skin plus a large number of high-energy stuffing, you say it can digest well? Third: Is lard added to the filling? Whether sweet or salty stuffing, many methods have the habit of adding lard. Lard adds flavor and taste, but it also adds a lot of fat. It will make the bean filling and jujube paste which are low in fat become high in fat, and make the salty filling which is already high in fat more difficult to digest. And salt will be added to the salty stuffing, sweet stuffing will be added to a large number of sugar, which is the reason for increasing the burden of digestion. Fourth: How much do you eat? The first three have been said for half a day, in fact, even if it is difficult to digest, if you eat enough, it will not have a great impact on the intestine and stomach. Im afraid Ill eat too much at once. Why eat too much? This is because glutinous rice has a characteristic: satiety is particularly poor, satiety response is slow. To put it plainly, it is easy for people to eat too much without knowing it. After a while, they will find that they have eaten too much. Too much food is piled up in their stomach, and they begin to feel uncomfortable and difficult to digest. So what we usually say is that glutinous rice food is not good for digestion. In fact, it should be "too much food is not good for digestion". If these glutinous rice foods were replaced by the same amount of other foods, they would be more difficult to digest. Therefore, the amount of Tangyuan is also the key to digestion. Fifth: Staple food or dessert? We used to treat glutinous rice food as dessert, and then serve it as dessert after other meals, especially dumplings. It is easy to eat too much and cause digestion difficulties when you have already had enough wine and food, and usually have high-energy and high-fat dishes such as meat, and then eat some dumplings with low satiety but high energy and fat. Want to know glutinous rice dumpling skin Lantern Festival skin is starch food, is the staple food, if it is sweet stuffing in the bean stuffing, beans are staple food, so eat dumpling, must be as staple food to eat, with other dishes to eat, and to reduce the amount of other staple food. And remember to mix more light vegetables. Sixth: Hot or cold? Rice will become hard and thick after cooling, which makes it difficult to swallow, while glutinous rice dumplings are still soft after cooling. So some people eat cold dumplings. Cool dumplings are still soft and delicious to breathe, but they are more difficult to digest than hot ones. If the filling is meat or lard, lard will become solidified at room temperature and digest more painstakingly. Therefore, it is difficult for most people to eat dumplings coolly. Having said so much, do you know whether Tangyuan and Lantern Festival are good for digestion? The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day to eat dumplings. Of course, we should eat them. But when we eat, we should pay a little attention to: try to choose light stuffing, cook thoroughly, match other dishes, as staple food, hot food, the key is to control the quantity. It can make the dumplings healthy and comfortable.
