What's the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan? Yuanxiao, thin skin
The Lantern Festival is spread out. Yuanxiao is to cut the solid stuffing laid in advance into small pieces, roll it in glutinous rice flour for a few times, so that the surface of Yuanxiao is covered with glutinous rice flour, then wet it again, roll it again, and repeat it several times until it is rolled into a ball. The glutinous rice skin in Yuanxiao tastes stronger.
Tangyuan, q bomb
Tangyuan is rubbed out. Tangyuan is to synthesize glutinous rice flour into glutinous rice batter, divide it into steamed bread, and then package it into various fillings. The glutinous rice batter of glutinous rice balls will be rubbed for many times, and the surface is smooth, and the glutinous rice skin is Q-elastic and thinner.
I prefer to eat jiaozi myself (plus to save things better), so I only write jiaozi below, because the nutrients of the two are actually similar.
What are the nutritional components of glutinous rice balls? First, they contain carbohydrates. The skin of glutinous rice is pure carbohydrate, and many jiaozi are also carbohydrate-containing raw materials, such as red bean paste, jujube and various fresh fruits.
Secondly, the fat content is high. Various fillings, such as white sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts, small fresh meat, etc. It is originally a food containing human fat. In order to taste better, a lot of vegetable oil will be added to the stuffing containing carbohydrates-that will be very fragrant.
Is it true that three glutinous rice balls make a bowl of rice? It can be seen from the above research that glutinous rice balls are indeed a kind of food containing carbohydrates and should be classified as dinner. Similar to three glutinous rice balls, the commonly used glutinous rice flour is about 50 grams, which is similar to one or two white rice, equivalent to half a bowl of white rice.
The stuffing of glutinous rice balls also contains a lot of carbohydrates and human fat, and its kinetic energy is not low. Three glutinous rice balls have the same heat energy as a bowl of rice.
Is it healthy to eat glutinous rice balls for breakfast? Many people like to eat glutinous rice balls in the morning. Someone asked, is the dumpling breakfast healthy? It is unhealthy to eat only one bowl of glutinous rice balls.
We strongly suggest that the ideal breakfast should have four ingredients: dinner+protein+fruits and vegetables+dairy products. However, Tangyuan only contains a lot of carbohydrates and human fat, which obviously does not meet the norms of healthy breakfast.
Eat only two or three dumplings, vegetarian fruit, an egg or a small amount of beans/meat, and a glass of low-fat milk for breakfast. In that case, "Tangyuan Breakfast" can also be nutritionally matched.
Try to eat high-calorie foods such as glutinous rice balls in the morning, so that you will have the opportunity to adjust your diet and fitness exercise for a day to prevent you from getting fat because you eat too much kinetic energy. If you really want to eat jiaozi, jiaozi is also good for breakfast.
Is low-sugar jiaozi suitable for diabetics? The blood sugar value of glutinous rice itself is very high, and the dumpling skin itself is worse than sugar. Even with low-sugar jiaozi, the blood sugar level will still rise. The peak value of blood sugar is large and long, which is not suitable for diabetic patients.
Diabetic patients are not completely forbidden to eat glutinous rice balls. It is suggested that people who must control their blood sugar can drink a glass of milk or low-sugar bean paddles 30 minutes before meals, then eat some light vegetables and protein to "cushion" and then eat a small amount of jiaozi instead of dinner.
