What's the difference between people who eat rice and people who eat noodles?

As a staple food, there is not much difference in nutritional components between rice and pasta. It's just different taste preferences caused by eating habits.

The main nutrients of rice and flour are similar, with the most carbohydrates, followed by protein, followed by fat, and some trace elements and vitamins.

Noodles contain 40% gliadin, but lysine, an essential amino acid for human body, is seriously lacking. However, the content of gliadin in rice is less than 20%, and the biological value of rice protein is relatively high in common grains. In this way, considering the content and quality of protein at the same time, the comprehensive utilization rate of rice and flour in protein is tied.

Wheat contains more vitamin B 1, so people who live on pasta are not prone to beriberi. The content of vitamin B 1 in rice is only about half of that in wheat, and it is even lower after whitening treatment. If you only eat white rice as the staple food and don't eat beans and potatoes, the dishes are not rich, and it is easy to get beriberi because of vitamin B 1 deficiency.

Try to eat less polished rice and flour, eat more coarse grains, and match dishes reasonably. Only in this way can we get more comprehensive nutrition.
