Rice is one of the most basic staple foods in China and a stable source of the largest population in the world. It is extracted from rice and is usually used to cook white rice or brown rice. And what are the nutrients of rice? The following is some information about the nutritional composition of rice.
Carbohydrate: The main component of rice is carbohydrate, especially starch. This means that it is one of the main energy sources we need every day. 100g of white rice contains 77.5g of carbohydrates. The data shows that a "high carbohydrate and low fat" diet can reduce weight and reduce the risk of illness.
Protein: Although rice is not as rich in protein as red meat, poultry and other animal products, it is still an important source in the daily diet. It has complete amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids, which are not produced by the human body itself. It plays an active role in fighting tumor and human immune system.
Fat: Rice contains almost no fat, only 0.3g per 100g. This may be good news for those who want to control their weight.
Vitamin B: Rice is rich in various vitamin B groups, especially sugar and selenium. In addition, it also includes vitamin B 1 (also called thiamine) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). These vitamins can provide energy and promote the normal operation of the body.
Minerals: Rice is rich in various minerals, such as iron, zinc and potassium. One of the most noteworthy is manganese. Studies have shown that manganese plays an important role in sugar metabolism, bone development and reducing facial skin aging.
Dietary fiber: Dietary fiber refers to plant food components that can not be digested and absorbed but are beneficial to human health except carbohydrates, protein, fat and salt. The dietary fiber in rice is mainly cell wall and non-cell wall polysaccharide, which are equally important. They help digestion and relieve constipation.
In a word, in the case of moderate consumption, rice can provide stable energy for human body and provide many important nutritional sources such as vitamin B group, minerals and dietary fiber.
