Is Cooled Rice Really Lower in Calories? Nutrition Expert Provides Explanation

Dream - Some time ago, a viral video suggested that rice be stored in the refrigerator to reduce its calories and blood sugar levels, making it safer to consume in larger quantities.

"However, it turns out that statement is not entirely true. According to Certified Nutrition & Health Coach, Dion Haryadi, the process of cooling rice can increase the content of resistant starch, which prevents blood sugar levels from spiking easily when consuming certain types of carbohydrates. The condition of rice or bread with higher content of resistant starch can provide a lower glycemic response even when reheated."

"Rice contains two types of starch, namely easily absorbable starch and resistant starch. Cooling rice can increase the content of resistant starch. The higher the resistant starch content, the slower the spike in blood sugar when we consume it because this starch cannot be digested by our body."

"Unfortunately, the increase in resistant starch in cooled rice is not significant. \u201cFrom 0.6 grams per 100 grams to 1.6 grams per 100 grams\u201d. In the same study, changes in calories and carbohydrates in rice after being cooled are unknown."

Based on Dion's statement, the changes in calories and carbohydrates in cooled rice are not significant. Therefore, the trick of cooling rice cannot be used as an excuse to consume more rice in larger quantities.

"The number of calories is not significantly different and (rice) still needs to be consumed in moderation. In some videos, it is claimed that it can reduce 50-60 percent of its calories. In that case, people can just eat up to twice as much, right?""
