  To say about the Zongzi Festival, the highlight is of course Zongzi. It has been a long time since traditional rice dumplings consisted of white glutinous rice and rhubarb rice. Today, we have to improve the traditional white rice dumplings! What kind of ingredients can be nutritionally matched, not only nutritious, but also a better taste?

  Baked rice dumplings commonly used glutinous rice and rhubarb rice are very good ingredients for spleen and stomach, but among them There are many problems, such as low dietary fiber (rice rice is slightly better), protein deficiency, and imbalanced nutrients. Because many people are used to eating dumplings when they don’t eat other foods, we better balance their nutrition and try to eat dumplings with balanced nutrition!

  Improve traditional dumplings. Bring in purple potatoes, purple rice, yam, and taro, which will help traditional dumplings correct its first shortcoming: low dietary fiber content. Traditional rice dumplings have low dietary fiber, so compared with the same food, it has a lower satiety. The place that is bad for health is mainly the high blood sugar production index, which is not conducive to increasing satiety and promoting intestinal peristalsis, and there are factors that increase constipation.

  Potatoes and purple rice are rich in dietary fiber and contain a lot of vitamins. They are also anti-cancer experts, and are also good for slimming. What kind of people is this kind of dumplings? First of all, it is especially suitable for elderly people with slow gastrointestinal motility, patients with high blood fat and high blood pressure.

  To take advantage of this improved version of zongzi, what should we do? First of all, wash the equal parts of purple rice and glutinous rice clean, use zongzi leaves to make a cone shape, put in half of the rice, Then cut purple potatoes or other potatoes into small pieces and place them in the center of purple rice and glutinous rice. After cooking, peel off the green rice dumpling leaves and go on one bite. The sweetness and sweetness of purple sweet potato are combined with the soft glutinous rice of purple rice. In fact, in addition to this kind of dumplings with added potatoes, if you want to get rid of the shortcomings of low dietary fiber content of traditional white dumplings, you can also put coarse grains in the dumplings in the past!
