The nutritional value of rice

Rice is one of the grains and can be divided into three categories: 籼 (xian) meters, 粳 (jing) meters, and 糯 (nuo) meters. Rice grains are slender, grayish, translucent and loose in quality. Small stickiness, large bulging, high rice out. Glutinous rice is short-grained, white in color, transparent or translucent, hard in texture, sticky compared to glutinous rice, small in bulging, and low in rice output. The famous varieties of glutinous rice include Tianjin Xiaozhan Rice, Jingxi Rice, and Shanghai White Rice. Also known as glutinous rice, glutinous rice, low hardness, draft, bulge and rice production rate is also the lowest, but the most viscous. The glutinous rice is white in color and the raw rice is not transparent, and it is glossy and transparent when cooked.

Rice contains about 70 percent starch and contains cellulose and hemicellulose as well as soluble sugars. Glutinous rice and glutinous rice contain more amylopectin and are easily soluble in water and can be completely hydrolyzed by amylase and converted into maltose. However, glutinous rice contains less amylopectin, so only fifty-four percent can be hydrolyzed by amylase. Therefore, it is not easily digested and absorbed by the body.

Protein bioprices in rice are comparable to those in soybeans, lysine, threonine, etc. are abundant in rice, and the ratio of various amino acids is close to the needs of the human body.

Rice is also rich in vitamin B1 and inorganic salts, such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., in which glutinous rice has higher phosphorus content than glutinous rice and has low calcium content. It is worth pointing out that because brown rice contains high dietary fiber, B vitamins, and vitamin E, it not only has the therapeutic effect of preventing beriberi, but also plays an important role in maintaining the balance of blood sugar in humans.

In recent years, nutrition experts have found that brown rice can inhibit the growth of liver cancer and colon cancer, and can prevent the transfer of skin cancer, so eating brown rice is beneficial to health.

Rice is one of the two staple foods for the people of our country. In particular, rice is the main ingredient in the South. It can cook rice and porridge, and it can also be used as ingredients for many dishes.
