How to eat zongzi is healthier

Pay attention to high fiber: the glutinous rice used for zongzi takes a long time to digest and the gastrointestinal emptying time is long, which is easy to cause indigestion symptoms such as hyperacidity, abdominal distension or abdominal pain. If the main ingredients can be replaced with some miscellaneous grains such as rice, red beans, coix seed, yam, taro or sweet potato, it can not only increase the fiber content, but also reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, which is more conducive to health.

Less oil and less calories: jiaozi already has meat stuffing? Zongzu? The protagonist, but its defect is high saturated fat content. If you can switch to lean meat, you can even use chicken, seafood or fish instead.

Read the nutrition label carefully: Now many packaged jiaozi have begun to label the nutrition ingredients. The labels of nutrients include the contents of calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and sodium per serving or per 100g. However, consumers often mistakenly think that the data on the nutrition label are the calories and nutrients provided by a zongzi. The correct method is to use the actual weight of a zongzi to convert the weight of each serving or 100g. Therefore, only by developing the habit of reading nutrition labels and buying zongzi that meets personal needs can this Dragon Boat Festival be delicious and healthy.

Food Matching: Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, you can eat with Zongzi, and forget the intake of other kinds of food, because Zongzi can only provide six kinds of food: staple food, meat and oil. It is recommended to match seasonal vegetables and a portion of fruit after a meal.

Conclusion: The above is the method of making zongzi that I introduced to you. I believe you have some understanding of these methods after reading them. Do you want to wrap it now after reading it? You can go home and buy some ingredients and cook them at home as I say.
