Purple corn: what are its advantages? Bashny.Net

If you like white bread, you can not avoid an excess of carbohydrates and lack of fiber, vitamins and minerals, but it is nevertheless possible to bake violet bread (you can also hear the name "purple bread") of whole grains, which can be an excellent substitute for bread that we eat.

Purple bread is presented as the first baked superfoods. Professor Zhou Veybyao, a nutritionist from the National University of Singapore, said that the bread was "under attack" within 10 years. This is because white bread is digested too quickly, causing a sharp rise in blood sugar levels and is associated with obesity and diabetes.

And as usual white bread is digested so quickly, people often eat it more than they should.




That is why Zhou invented purple bread that is rich in antioxidants and is made entirely of natural compounds. It is absorbed by 20% slower than white bread.



This bread was prepared using anthocyanins extracted from black rice. Anthocyanins give a pigment which is a natural for grapes, blueberries and sweet potato. In addition these products have bright colors, anthocyanins have been proven rich in antioxidants that reduce inflammation, prevent the development of cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes, as well as prevent cancer.

When mixed with anthocyanins grain starch, a chemical reaction that leads to slow digestion is 20%. Purple bread contains the same amount of flour and starch, and therefore the amount of calories in it is the same as that of conventional white bread. What's more, people who use purple bread will not be of the same problems with the energy as those who have white bread.

Zhou explains:
"Do you eat the same amount of starch and flour, so the nutritional value is the same. The basic idea here is to slow down the release of energy as you use those calories over a longer period of time

. " About 80% of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds bread cooking bread stand and remain even to the crust at 392 degrees Fahrenheit.

Zhou told CNN:
"The problem is to see whether you can change the formula of bread, without changing the smooth texture of white bread, which people really love. Although the antioxidant capacity and the associated health benefits, the knowledge on the use of anthocyanins as an ingredient in foodstuffs

very scarce. " Purple bread still not commercially available, but Zhou said that to him already appealed to major food manufacturers.

Purple bread will not necessarily be a healthy alternative to white bread for people sensitive to gluten and those who are sick with diabetes. But in the foreseeable future for the fans of a healthy and useful bread it can be useful to be happy.

Zhou said:
"If you want to enjoy the texture of white bread and slow digestion, it is likely this is the best solution. Also the color is also an interesting and attractive. "
