Rice is an important food crop and one of the most common staple foods in people's daily diet. Its nutritional value is very high. Let me introduce the nutritional value of rice in detail.
Carbohydrate: The main component of rice is carbohydrate (starch), which can provide energy for human body. Among them, the starch content of long-grain fragrant rice and short-grain fragrant rice is higher, but the starch particles of long-grain fragrant rice are larger, which is relatively difficult to digest and produce energy.
Protein: Although the content of protein in rice is not high, it is an important source of essential amino acids.
Fat: There is almost no fat in rice, which is very suitable for healthy people to eat.
B vitamins: Rice is rich in B vitamins, which is necessary for normal metabolism and life activities. Especially thiamine (vitamin B 1) and riboflavin (vitamin B2) are high, which can accelerate the metabolism of fat, sugar, protein and other substances.
Minerals: Rice contains many minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and iron. Among them, phosphorus and magnesium can help the human body maintain neuromuscular function, and are beneficial to the development and maintenance of bones. In addition, the iron in rice can help the human body to supplement hemoglobin and prevent anemia.
Dietary fiber: Rice is also rich in dietary fiber, which can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote digestion and absorption, and reduce constipation.
Generally speaking, rice has high nutritional value and plays a very important role in the normal health and growth of human body. However, it should be noted that rice is high in calories, and it is easy to get fat when eaten in excess, so it needs to be eaten in moderation. At the same time, in order to give full play to the nutritional value of rice, it is suggested to choose yellow rice or brown rice with low whiteness and retain more nutritional components.
