In fact, all kinds of beans have high starch content. However, compared with the starch in rice we usually eat, these bean starches actually decompose into glucose much more slowly, and the decomposition speed of bean starches is mainly amylose, and the proportion of carbohydrates is not as high as that of traditional staple foods. So generally speaking, as long as the intake is well controlled, the rising speed of sugar is acceptable to sugar lovers.
Mung beans, red beans and other miscellaneous beans are also rich in dietary fiber, which is often added to flour and rice (such as white rice) for cooking, which helps to slow down the digestion of food and stabilize postprandial blood sugar. Sugar friends who like mung bean soup suggest not to drink too much at a time, and drink a small bowl and two small bowls; In addition, mung bean soup should not be cooked too soft and rotten, and mung beans should be turned over. In fact, mung beans should be slightly exploded. If there is less starch in the soup, the conversion rate of starch will be slower.
In short, if it is a food with high starch content, sugar friends should not eat it after cooking for a long time, such as rice, coarse grains and potato foods, including mung bean soup. After cooking for a long time, the gelatinization degree of starch is improved, and starch is more easily converted into glucose and absorbed, which will lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar. For example, the glycemic index of white rice is 83, but if it is white rice porridge, the glycemic index can exceed 90. If you are afraid to drink mung bean porridge, you can test your blood sugar before and after meals. If your blood sugar is high before meals, it is not recommended that you drink more. If blood sugar rises sharply after a meal, mung bean soup can be made into inappropriate food. In short, what friends can eat and what they can't eat actually varies from person to person. According to the influence of personal diabetes, absorption capacity, physical fitness and other factors. It is best to make a personal diet plan flexibly.
