Chile is one of the countries that consumes this rich food the most, so we decided to tell you some of its benefits. Does it make you fat? Everything depends on how much and how.
Bread is one of the foods that is at the base of the Chilean food pyramid, that is, its consumption is recommended, but not in excess. In adequate amounts, bread is a food that delivers energy, in the form of carbohydrates, needed during the day. Allows during the day we are concentrated and active, and prevents blood glucose decreases (fatigue).
It is generally recommended not to eat more than two units a day (one at breakfast and one at tea time)
What do we prefer women?
It depends on the stage of life. Those under 35 choose it depending on the calories, because they want to maintain their weight. After that age consider the taste, the presence of grains and textures more important.
Marraqueta is our favorite. And it is a good choice, because the Ministry of Health and FAO analyzed their nutritional composition, concluding that it has 80 calories less than a hallulla of equal size; a unit of 90 grams provides 8.51 g of protein, 56.74 g of carbohydrates and 582 g of sodium or salt, although sometimes it rises. And it emphasizes that, thanks to the fortification of the flour that the State made to prevent diseases such as anemia decades ago, it is rich in nutrients such as iron (3.1 mg) and vitamin B1 and B2 (0.598 mg and 0.149 mg, respectively) . Fat? Very low 1,27 gr.
We better get away from the exquisite doubles, because they contain animal fat in lard. Pita bread, on the other hand, is low in calories, contains flour and salt without fat, and the whole, has fewer calories and much fiber, preventing cancer and coronary heart disease. And if it includes seeds, its benefits increase, but also calories.
