More and more attention is paid to the food science because knowing every detail of what we eat is a guarantee that can help fight many diseases. Thus, in recent decades it has been possible to delve into the risks of the ingredients of some processed products, such as flavor enhancers, and the benefits they provide depending on which foods, especially depending on their intake.
Mariana Zapién He knows a lot about them. This Mexican studied food engineering and is dedicated to consulting and advising on product development. In addition, she has become a successful gastronomic ‘influencer’ and with her clear and natural style she reveals from her accounts @ingdetusalimentos food secrets, from how to wash dishes correctly or whether mushrooms need to be cleaned or the dangers of greenish potatoes.
Recently, Mariana uploaded a post to expose the truth about the widespread myth in some sectors that freeze breada classic in every home, makes it healthier. In one week it has managed to exceed 2 million views and its explanations, argued with references from official scientific studies, have caused hundreds of comments.
“As a dietary fiber”
“By freezing the bread we promote the retrogradation of the starch naturally present in it,” she begins, explaining that this means that “theMolecules reorganize and crystallize in such a way that they form a starch resistant to digestion. The expert emphasizes that this starch, since it cannot be digested by our digestive enzymes, can be classified “as a dietary fiber” and, once in the large intestine, it can end up feeding the good bacteria and acting “like a prebiotic.” .
For all this, the engineer advises «cook, freeze and then heat or toast your bread so that you have these benefits. Furthermore, Mariana emphasizes that this process does not only happen with bread, “but with foods rich in starch such as pasta, rice, potatoes or oats.” “No, it is not mandatory to do this but it is a good strategy to take care of your microbiota, consume more fiber and reduce the glycemic index of these foods a little,” she adds in the final stretch of her video, which has generated many doubts.
She herself, first of all, has pointed out in the comments that her trick “yes it works if you only refrigerate the bread» and that talks about cooking the bread but that it is already baked from the base. Furthermore, he explained that these effects are also achieved with refrigeration, although “when frozen it lasts much longer.”
In addition, in response, he has also highlighted that the bread will maintain the same amount of carbohydrates and fats and that this process “can decrease the glycemic index A LITTLE.” «Another excuse not to give up bread», a user blurted out with a message that she liked a lot. “Hahaha, the bread is incredible,” she responded.
