Development Background

In recent years, as people have become more health-conscious, the selection of ingredients and cooking methods have become more important in dieting. In response to the question that there are many calorie-controlled recipes for side dishes, but little information on white rice diets, we developed "Pitaku" to support more effective dieting by adjusting the sugar content of rice and the amount of water used during cooking so that diets can be stress-free.

How to use "Pitaku

Using "Pittaku" is very simple. First, put washed rice and enough water to cover the rice in the rice cooker. After the rice is flattened, place the "Pitaku" on top of the rice and you are ready to start measuring. The "Pip-Cook" has a scale marked in 1 mm increments, so if you remember which scale you used the first time you cooked rice, you can finely adjust the amount of water the second time around to get the rice just the way you like it. When cooking rice on a diet, you can expect to cut down on sugar by adding less water. Easy to clean and compact are the features of "Pitaku". The design is cute whether hung on a hook or placed on a table for decoration.

About the sugar content of rice

Rice is a food that mainly contains carbohydrates (sugar), which is a source of energy. In general, the carbohydrate content of rice accounts for about 70-80% of the total carbohydrate content of rice, and consuming an adequate amount is essential for maintaining good health. However, excessive sugar intake is a factor that increases the risk of obesity and diabetes. For this reason, it has been considered undesirable to consume white rice during dieting.

■Moisture Adjustment and Dietary Effects

Adjusting the amount of water in the rice cooking process is believed to affect the rate of carbohydrate absorption and caloric intake. Specifically, cooking rice with less water may reduce the amount of water absorbed by the rice, resulting in lower sugar and calorie content in the cooked rice.

With the increasing health consciousness of people today, diet recipes that can be easily incorporated into the diet are attracting attention. This release proposes a new diet recipe approach that provides calorie control and satisfaction while maintaining nutritional balance.

■The Mechanism of the Dietary Effect of Reducing the Amount of Water

In normal rice cooking, rice absorbs water and becomes fluffy. However, if you dare to cook rice with less water, the following effects can be expected. 1.

1. suppresses sugar absorption: Less water suppresses the rate at which the rice absorbs water, resulting in a lower absorption rate of the sugar contained in the rice. This reduces blood sugar spikes and prevents fat accumulation.

(2) Sustained feeling of satiety: The slightly firmer cooking process increases the number of times the rice is chewed, which in turn stimulates the satiety center. This helps to prevent overeating. 3.

3. control energy intake: By reducing the amount of water used when cooking rice, caloric intake can be naturally controlled for the same amount of rice. This helps in calorie control during dieting.

Adjusting the amount of water when cooking rice is an easy way to support weight loss. This is ideal for those who want to eat the white rice they want and manage their weight in a healthy manner by both controlling sugar absorption and promoting a feeling of fullness.
