Chapter 114 Don't Wash Rice for a Long Time
Chapter 9 I am good at processing and cooking correctly to retain nutrients

Generally, when making rice or cooking porridge, the rice must be washed first to remove impurities such as silt, barnyardgrass, and chaff in the rice.However, attention should be paid to the method of washing rice, otherwise it is easy to cause a large loss of nutrients.Because most of the nutrients contained in rice, such as protein, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and niacin, are soluble or soluble in water, washing, rubbing and soaking will easily lead to a large loss of nutrients; , The more rubbing times, the longer the soaking time, the higher the temperature of the rice washing water, and the greater the loss of nutrients.According to the measurement, the washed rice (2 to 3 times) will lose 1% to 29% of vitamin B60, 2% to 23% of vitamin B25 and niacin, about 70% of inorganic salt, 16% of protein and 43% of fat. 2% loss, [-]% loss in carbs.Therefore, you should pay attention to the following points when washing rice:

1. Wash with cold water instead of hot water.

2. Water consumption and washing times should be reduced as much as possible to remove sediment.

3. Do not scrub vigorously and over-stir.

4. The rice should not be soaked before and after washing. If the rice has been soaked after washing, the soaked rice water and rice should be cooked together in the pot.

The surface structure of rice grains is mainly composed of cellulose and protein.Using a pressure cooker to steam rice, the steam and water in the pressure cooker will penetrate into the inside of the rice grains more effectively and evenly, so that the rice grains will decompose and denature quickly and become easily absorbed by the human body.However, when steaming rice in an ordinary pot, due to the small and uneven pressure in the pot, the decomposition and denaturation of the rice grains are not complete, and the nutrition is not easily absorbed by the human body.From this point of view, steaming rice in a pressure cooker is more nutritious and delicious than steaming rice in an ordinary pot.
