@krizkitch: The Healthier Filipino Series, Episode 3: Rice (& Starches) Did you know that it is scientifically proven that completely cooling your rice (and other starches such as potatoes, bread, and pasta!!) in the fridge or freezer before reheating it creates something called resistant starch? Normally, if you consume fresh warm rice, it digests quickly and causes a sudden spike in your blood sugar, but cooling it changes its structure so it becomes “resistant” to your digestion. Instead of rushing into your bloodstream, these altered starches sneak past your upper digestive tract and travel down to your colon to act exactly like fiber, nourishing your microbiome and feeding your good bacteria. It’s a small, intentional shift that keeps its benefits even after reheating, meaning sugar enters your system at a slow, gentle trickle rather than a sudden rush which gives you steadier, lasting energy without the glucose spike! Pair this method above with a multigrain rice variety (I like Nishiki 7 grain rice mix) + edamame for an added source of protein and fiber (amongst other nutrients!) and you’ve got yourself some rice that you actually feel good about eating. Full recipe is posted under ‘Healthier Multigrain Rice’ at www.krizkitch.com Instagram viewers can comment ‘Recipe’ ‘Rice’ or ‘🍚’ and the recipe link will be sent straight to your DMs 🤗 Ingat! 💞
