Suggestions on Healthy Eating Tangyuan
The Spring Festival has passed, and the Lantern Festival is coming again, which is very lively. When it comes to eating Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, related health suggestions will flood the world. Although it is a cliche, the collocation suggestions given by nutrition experts may help you to know more about glutinous rice balls.
1. Tangyuan is a refined white staple food.
Simply put, glutinous rice balls and yuanxiao are foods with glutinous rice and sugar as the main raw materials. Besides refined glutinous rice flour containing a lot of starch, the stuffing also contains a lot of sugar. Therefore, from the classification, it should be regarded as a staple food. The so-called staple food is food rich in carbohydrates, especially starch. This kind of food is made of glutinous rice, and it is very fine glutinous rice flour with very little fiber, which belongs to refined white staple food and does not belong to coarse grains.
Suggestion 1: If you eat glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao, you must reduce the number of staple foods accordingly. Generally speaking, glutinous rice flour used for three Yuanxiao is equivalent to 1 meter of rice.
2. Tangyuan has high oil content.
The stuffing of glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao not only contains sugar, but also contains quite a lot of solid oil. Rice and steamed bread contain almost no fat, but glutinous rice balls are not. There is even more oil in the stuffing than sugar. Traditionally, lard is used to wrap jiaozi. In the south, lard and meat are used to make salty jiaozi, and lard and various nuts are used to make sweet jiaozi. Later, products using butter were developed, but the content of saturated fat was even higher than that of lard. In recent years, the new fashion is to replace butter and lard with vegetable cream or hydrogenated vegetable oil products, but the health impact of this product is much worse than lard and butter.
Sesame, peanuts, nuts and chocolate are all high-fat raw materials. Plus the oil mixed with stuffing, the total amount is really considerable. At this time, jiaozi with big stuffing often replaces jiaozi with small stuffing, and there are more solid oils in jiaozi than in the past, such as red bean paste, hawthorn and five-kernel stuffing in the north.
