Black rice has higher nutritional value compared to ordinary rice, so many health programs now recommend that people eat more black rice for better health. Can pregnant women, who have high nutritional needs, eat black rice in the late stages of pregnancy? Below is an introduction to the knowledge of eating black rice for pregnant friends:
Firstly, black rice is very suitable for pregnant women to eat. The content of trace elements such as iron and calcium in black rice is higher than that in ordinary rice, especially suitable for pregnant women with anemia problems. Some people are concerned that black rice is a genetically modified food. This concern is unnecessary because black rice is a special type of rice and not a genetically modified food.
Secondly, pregnant women should not eat black rice every day in the late stages of pregnancy, because although black rice has high nutritional value, its starch and fiber content are not as high as that of noodles. Therefore, pregnant women should eat noodles, rice, and black rice in combination to achieve a more balanced intake of nutrients.
It is also a good choice to use black rice to make porridge for pregnant women. Cooking porridge can maximize the release of nutrients in black rice, and black rice porridge is easier to digest.
In addition, the effect of eating black rice with peanuts, walnuts and other nuts will be better, so pregnant women can put dried fruits when using black rice to make porridge or stew rice, so that pregnant women will be more healthy and help the healthy development of the fetus after eating.
