When cooking rice or congee, it is best not to use rice alone, but to cook it with coarse grains, beans, nuts, and the like, such as red bean rice and peanut oat rice congee.
Adding these ingredients not only increases B vitamins and minerals, but also makes the protein more complete. Even if you reduce your intake of animal foods, you can ensure more comprehensive nutrition. More importantly, this method can effectively lower the glycemic response.
The combination of beans and rice is the most ideal, because beans are rich in dietary fiber, and the starch in them is digested very slowly, which is most effective in preventing chronic diseases.
