MOMMY RICE X baz-mah-tee

印度香米，俗称巴萨玛蒂香米(BASMATI RICE)。 原产自印度 巴萨玛蒂的穀物，经由印度贸易商输出到中东、中亚一带，衍生出各式异国美食，至今仍是印度重要主食之一，主要由印度和巴基斯坦出产，一年只有一获。 「Basmati」印度文意为「香味之后（Queen of Fragrance）」，这也是「香米」之名的由来，印度香米具有独特的辛辣香气和风味，米粒外型纤長，质地较硬，煮熟后米粒分离而蓬松，不会释出淀粉质、无黏性、不会稠化，吃起来香气浓郁有嚼劲；讲究的印度香米甚至会放置在阴凉處1-2年，熟成「老米」，目的是将米粒的黏性徹底去除，可以更凸显香米的香气。 香米的种类 印度香米因应各国口味，改良出许多不同种类，例如：「Traditional Basmati」、「Brown Basmati」、「White Rice」、「Parboiled（Sella）Rice」等等，加工过程略有不同。「Brown Basmati」会在磨米时，保留黃色外皮；「White Rice」会将粗糠皮磨掉；「Parboiled（Sella）Rice」则会将榖粒泡在水中、晒干后再磨制。所有的种类中，以「Traditional Basmati」产量最少、最珍貴。 以下，来看看basmati米的各种好处！ 1. 糖尿病患者的“良”食 许多糖尿病患者认为，患上糖尿病后就不得不告别面食或米饭，但如果是食用basmati米，那就不一样了。食物的血糖指数是衡量食物引起餐后血糖反应的一项有效指标。Basmati米的血糖指数比一般的大米来得低，因此有助于延缓碳水化合物转化成血糖，这意味着basmati米实际上有助于调节糖尿病人的血糖。 2. 有利于控制食欲和保持健康的体重 印度香米含有大量的直链淀粉（amylose），这是一种身体比较难消化的碳水化合物，提供人体饱足感，适用于血糖管理。当食欲控制了，体重自然得以维持。因此，basmati米可以帮助促进你的减肥目标，并为你提供更多的能量。 3. 促进心脏健康 Basmati米的饱和脂肪含量明显低于其他类型的大米。少量的饱和脂肪，有利于心脏的健康。至于脂肪，basmati米含有不饱和脂肪，胆固醇含量低得多。因此，它被推荐为心脏健康的超级谷物。此外，basmati米还含有大量的纤维，如...
