Their valuable nutrients and fiber help to offset their calories. Americans love breakfast cereal. Except that we eat it morning, noon and night. In reality, she says, cereal sends your blood sugars soaring — especially when served with milk, another rapidly absorbed carb. White rice may be a staple of the Asian, Mexican and other cuisines we love. Like other empty carbs, white rice is quickly digested and absorbed, making your blood sugar rise faster.
Try replacing the white rice in your Japanese, Thai or vegetarian dish with the real deal: brown or wild rice or another whole grain, like quinoa. Depending on what you eat with a skinless white potato, you may experience a blood sugar crash and quick drop in energy. So, however you like your potatoes, try to incorporate their skin. Old habits die hard, and cutting empty carbs can be a challenge. Not all starchy foods are bad. But eating too many processed carbs can stall weight loss progress.
Higher-fibre options can also provide a slow release of energy. Wheat, oats, barley, rye and rice are commonly available cereals that can be eaten as wholegrains. This means cereal products consisting of oats or oatmeal, such as porridge, and wholewheat products are healthy breakfast options.
Many cereal products in the UK are refined, with low wholegrain content. They can also be high in added salt and sugar. When you're shopping for cereals, check the food labels to compare different products. For more advice, read about healthy breakfast cereals. Rice and grains are an excellent choice of starchy food. They give us energy, are low in fat, and good value for money. As well as carbohydrates, rice and grains particularly brown and wholegrain varieties can contain:.
There are a few precautions you should take when storing and reheating cooked rice and grains. This is because the spores of some food poisoning bugs can survive cooking. If cooked rice or grains are left standing at room temperature, the spores can germinate. The bacteria multiply and produce toxins that make you be sick vomit and have diarrhoea.
Reheating food will not get rid of these toxins. It's therefore best to serve rice and grains as soon as they have been cooked. If this is not possible, cool them within 1 hour of cooking and keep them refrigerated until you reheat them or use them in a recipe such as a salad. It's important to throw away any rice and grains that have been left at room temperature overnight.
If you are not going to eat cooked rice immediately, refrigerate it within 1 hour and eat it within 24 hours. Rice should be reheated thoroughly, reaching a core temperature of 70C for 2 minutes or equivalent so it's steaming hot throughout.
Rice should not be reheated more than once — it should be thrown away. Do not reheat rice unless it's been chilled safely and kept in a fridge until you reheat it. Follow the "use by" date and storage instructions on the label for any cold rice or grain salads that you buy. Pasta is another healthy option to base your meal on. It consists of dough made from durum wheat and water and contains iron and B vitamins.
Wholewheat or wholegrain are healthier than ordinary pasta, as they contain more fibre. We digest wholegrain foods slower than refined grains, so they can help us feel full for longer.
