Among them, the definition of the national standard CNS1172 "rice vermicelli" must be "rice as raw material, through the process of gelatinization, extrusion, cooking, drying and other processes to make slender strip products, the crude protein should be more than 5.0%".

And "mixed rice vermicelli" must be "with more than 50% rice as the main raw material, can be mixed with other edible flour or edible starch,After gelatinization, extrusion, cooking, drying and other processes to make slender products, the crude protein must be more than 2.5%."

Be careful that commercially available rice noodles do not contain rice, and choose reputable brands carefully

Lin Minhua said that many manufacturers add cornstarch in order to make rice noodles more elastic.

In order to achieve the Q-bomb taste of real pure rice noodles, more extrusion, cooking and drying processes are required.

Real pure rice flour is not only a low GI food, but also contains protein, which is good for digestion and not flatulence. Although the glycemic index of rice noodles made from corn starch is lower, this is because after eating corn starch, human enzymes cannot fully hydrolyze corn starch, so it is easy to cause indigestion, flatulence and other discomforts, and it does not contain protein or only contains extremely Low protein, empty calorie foods with no nutrients. Therefore, in order to eat delicious and healthy rice noodles, you must carefully choose a reputable brand.
