We're busy every day, and our eating habits tend to be irregular. We want to eat healthy, but the effort required is a hassle. But we also want to stay nutritious and healthy, but we don't want to put in the effort... (and we keep repeating this cycle)... I'm sure there are many people like that.
Let me get to the conclusion first.
Incorporate grains into your daily life!
Why should we eat millet?
① It can be easily incorporated into your daily diet
② You can get nutrition from the main dish (not the side dish)
3. The cost performance is not bad.
is.
Regarding ①, it eliminates the hassle of cooking regular rice by simply mixing in grains and cooking (super easy!).
With just this, you can make mixed grain rice.
Regarding ②, since mixed grain rice is a staple food that provides nutrition , there is no need to consider nutrition when making elaborate side dishes.
Regarding point 3, you might be thinking, "Tawaraya's 16-grain rice is imported from Japan, so it must be expensive." However, the cost of 16-grain rice per bowl is only 4,800 VND! By adding 4,800 VND to your regular meal with mixed grain rice, you can quickly turn it into a nutritious meal. When you think about it, it's actually not that bad value for money.
*1 cup of rice is 150g (equivalent to 65g of raw rice, assuming 15% (9.75g) of 16-grain rice is added)
You may be wondering, "I vaguely know that whole grains are nutritious, but what specific benefits do they have for the body?"
Incorporating whole grains into your daily life has many benefits for your body, including the following:
- High in fiber: Millet grains are high in fiber, which aids digestion, prevents constipation, supports digestive health, and helps control food intake by making you feel full.
- Control blood sugar levels: Millet grains contain carbohydrates that are digested slowly, which helps prevent blood sugar spikes, reducing the risk of diabetes and contributing to blood sugar control.
- Prevents cardiovascular disease: Due to their high fiber content, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids, millet promotes cardiovascular health, particularly in the areas of bowel regulation and cholesterol levels.
- Accommodates allergies and dietary restrictions: Some major grains, such as wheat and soy, can be the subject of allergies or dietary restrictions, but millet is an excellent alternative to these.
On the other hand, there are some things you need to be careful about.
That is, "Buy grains whose origin and producer are visible." It is often difficult to identify high-quality grains when you don't know where they are grown or who is producing them. For example, it is important to have transparency in the information about the producers, such as transparency in the production process, whether thorough post-harvest inspections are carried out, and whether there is any misrepresentation of the origin in the first place.
Tawaraya's 16-grain rice is made with 16 types of grains, all of which are 100% Japanese-grown, and we only use grains that have been inspected in Japan (where they are produced). We also disclose the origins of the grains.
