What can you do to keep the Glycemic index of your meals low? Boil! Boiling only exposes food to low temperatures which is the key difference. Unfortunately, it\u2019s often considered a boring way of preparing food. How can it compete with frying for example? Let\u2019s take a closer look at boiling and a tasty recipe that will inspire you to use it more often.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Boiling is best for cooking carbs <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starchy foods like potatoes or rice are full of hard to digest carbohydrates. Heat helps break down the cellular structure of the plant which allows the body to extract nutrients easier. But more isn\u2019t better in this case. For example, deep frying exposes food to so much heat and makes carbohydrates so available, that otherwise healthy potatoes become a sugar bomb with a Glycemic index comparable to pure glucose. Boiling gives you just enough heat to make foods easily digestible but not too much to ruin them.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t throw away the water<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Boiling allows you to make good use of older, tougher, and cheaper cuts of meat. It also retains maximum colour and a lot of nutrients when cooking green vegetables, provided the boiling time is short. One downside is that a significant portion of water-soluble vitamins is lost in the water. That\u2019s why you should always try to use the remaining water when boiling vegetables or meat, it makes a nutritious soup!<\/p>\n

Glycemic Index: Garlic Chicken Breast with Sweet Potatoes<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

Recipe: Salmon with basil coconut rice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This recipe uses boiling to cook the coconut rice so you can expect the Glycemic index to stay low. It serves up to three people and it only takes about 20 minutes to make if you already have a boiled leftover rice. It\u2019s a practical and easy way to enjoy some tasty protein and safely prepared carbs!<\/p>\n
