Rice and pasta are now people’s staple foods. In the south, rice is the main food, and in the north, pasta is the main food. However, people often compare rice and pasta. So everyone knows the difference between the two. ?

Rice is mainly composed of starch, which also contains small amounts of vitamins B1 and B2, protein, fat, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other trace elements. The main ingredient of pasta is also starch. For the same portion, the starch content of pasta is lower than that of rice, but the protein of pasta will be higher than that of rice and the calories will be lower than that of rice.

In terms of digestion degree, there is not much difference between rice and pasta. They are both easier to digest. However, the water content of rice is higher than that of pasta, so the heat energy per unit weight will also be lower in terms of protein. Although the protein content of flour is higher than that of rice, the quality is lower than that of rice. 40% of the protein in pasta is gliadin, and it is seriously lacking in amino acids. In comparison, the gliadin content of rice is less than 20%. , the biological value of rice protein in rice will also be relatively high.

Although there are subtle differences between the two, the difference is not big, so whether you eat rice or pasta, it is OK. There is no need to worry too much, as long as it is based on personal living and eating habits. Just come and eat.

No matter whether you are sick or want to lose weight, you should eat staple food. Although you need to eat less staple food, you still have to eat it, because if people don’t eat staple food, then they will lose weight. It is easy to reduce appetite, and not eating staple food will also make people lose some nutritional value. It is often easy to feel full, but just want to eat. Nowadays, many people who are losing weight and diabetics do not eat staple food. This approach is also wrong. Only staple food can reduce the consumption of other high-calorie foods, so you should eat some staple food in moderation.

While eating staple food, you should also pay attention to the dishes that go with it. The dishes should be nutritionally balanced as much as possible. If you are not a picky eater, you can eat a little of any food. This will make your body's nutrition more balanced, and you can also combine these. All the nutritional value of food is absorbed. You can eat first and then the vegetables, or you can eat the food together. Eating first can also reduce the amount of vegetables you eat and enhance the body's sense of protection, which is also better for people who want to lose weight.
