rice is every common people's home table must-have, clever woman difficult rice-free cooking, choose a lot of rice learning. So how do you choose from a wide variety of rice varieties on the market? Which rice is the most nutritious?
The first China (Sanya) International Rice Forum on the theme of "Southern Breeding World Source, China Rice World Food" is being held in Sanya, with 10 academicians, including Yuan Longping, discussing "Rice" with Taiwan. Xinhua News Agency reporters interviewed top rice experts in China to answer the public's vague "rice-eating" misunderstanding.
mistake: pick rice only to see the shape. Now, in order to meet the needs of different consumers, more and more varieties of rice in the market, reporters in Sanya a supermarket random interview with several consumers found that, in addition to choosing well-known brands, many consumers are through the appearance of rice to buy rice.
to this, Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Xie Hua'an said, now approved rice quality has national excellent standards, to achieve the national high-quality three-level standards above are high-quality rice, we can safely buy. But the market does not have packaging of loose rice, consumers are difficult to judge the quality, it is recommended to buy less taste and then buy.
Wenfu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that from the appearance, some rice will be second-best, chen rice oil polishing. Such a dark color of rice, consumers can wipe more than a few times with napkins, if nothing on the paper dry clean basic is good rice.
myth two: the higher the protein the rice contains, the better. Does the higher the protein indicated in the indicated nutritional content indicate that rice is more nutritious? In response, Chen Wenfu said, rice is not the higher the protein, the better, we get mainly from rice carbohydrates rather than protein.
Chunming, director of the Crop Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that in general, the protein content of 8% to 10% is more appropriate, the higher the protein content, the worse the taste.
mistake three: imported rice is better than domestic rice rice quality. Now many middle- and high-income domestic consumers in the "full" basis, "eat well" has a higher demand, many imported rice from Thailand, Vietnam and other countries are sought after, feel better than Chinese rice, nutrition.
, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: 'This is not absolute, there is a one-sided consumption misunderstanding.' "There's a lot of Thai rice on the market that Chinese rice pretends to be, but it smells and tastes the same and can't be eaten at all. Our country imports rice mainly because of the low price of rice abroad. Yan Longan said, "The taste, nutrition, these are relatively easy problems for our scientists to solve, China can ensure food security on the basis of the production of more green high-quality rice." Myth
: Eat only rice that tastes good. Reporters in random interviews found that the vast majority of people in the purchase of rice, are the taste as the most important criterion, and many people also believe that good taste of rice is also the most nutritious rice.
to this, Liu Chunming said, this is a mistake. The quality of rice from two aspects, one is the taste, the general northerners prefer to eat rice, elastic;
from the nutritional quality, rice contains vitamins and trace elements mainly exist in the outerst layer, in fact, brown rice is the most nutritious. People now eat mostly fine rice, is polished, in the process a lot of nutrition is lost, but the benefits are good taste.
women in particular are generally deficient in calcium zinc and iron, and children are generally deficient in vitamins, so more people should focus on real nutritional qualities rather than just taste." Drink purple rice and black rice porridge twice a week, the nutritional level will be very balanced. Liu Chunming said.
Liu Chunming also suggested that rice washing is generally only washed once, because all vitamins are water-soluble, the more washed the more lost. While cooking, he recommends cooking now to eat the best, try not to heat up overnight to eat.
