Porridge is our health!

in #ecotrain6 years ago

"Porridge is our health!" - we know this saying from childhood, but for some reason we do not give it due attention to growing up. Kashi is a useful product for maintaining health, and also prove to be a useful assistant when trying to lose weight.

Variety of cereals

Kashi can be very diverse. Conditionally, the variety of cereals can be divided into "poor" and "rich". Croups that contain the most vitamins and minerals are rice, oatmeal and buckwheat. Less vitamins and nutrients are found in wheat, semolina and corn groats. Nevertheless, in oatmeal and buckwheat contains a lot of fiber, which helps to lose weight. But on the vitamins from these cereals, you should not expect much, because they are not well absorbed.

Porridges, in which the low fiber content (manna, rice, oatmeal) is easily digested, and therefore can be eaten in diseases. "Poor" in all respects is corn porridge, in which all the components of the "rich" cereal are absent - fiber, protein, vitamins. Nevertheless, its positive side is that such porridge does not cause and even reduces fermentation in the stomach and helps children and adults with bloating.

For cereals to retain their qualities for a long time, it is necessary to store them correctly. If you buy a large amount of cereals at a time, be sure to put it in a tightly closed container and designate the expiration date. Note that flakes can be stored for about six months, while whole grains can be stored for up to 1.5 years.

Porridge is a delicious dish, but only if it is properly cooked. Remember that all groats, except for buckwheat and rice, must be filled in boiling water. Thus, the flavor qualities of cereals are improved. You can also cook the porridge until half cooked, drain the water, and then add the milk and slowly cook until it is cooked. To get rid of excess starch and fat in rice, pearl barley or wheat, rinse them in hot water.

Some people believe that it is possible to get better from cereals and mistakes. It is necessary to eat the porridge correctly so that it does not happen. Kashi must be in the daytime. If you are skeptical about cereals, try low-calorie cereals: buckwheat, rice, oatmeal and corn porridge. Also try not to add sugar to the porridge.

"Fast" and "slow" porridge

With "slow" porridges, we seem to have sorted out - these are ordinary cereals, which are cooked in the usual way. Today, often in shops you can meet porridges "five-minute" or "quick" porridge. From ordinary porridges "fast" differ in that the grain is preliminarily flattened, cuts are made on it, processed with infrared rays and dried. As a result, flakes appear. Of course, the nutritional value of whole grains is higher than that of cereals, but flakes are better digested, which is good for people with gastrointestinal diseases. If you prefer the usual cereals "quick" porridge, be sure to pay attention to their composition. Some producers add sweeteners and flavors to the cereals. If you lose weight, it is better to buy whole grains. In flakes there is practically no fiber, which removes fat from the body.
