Diabetes recipe: Corn and Tomato Stewed Beef

It is suggested that diabetics eat more coarse grains, But many people only know corn when they mention coarse grains. Corn is indeed high in fiber and starch. Both [coarse] and [grain], but it lacks some essential amino acids for human body, and the quality of protein is relatively low, so it cannot only eat corn as grain for a long time. In particular, one cannot just eat corn shreds or corn dregs to cook porridge, because there is no corn embryo, try to eat complete particles.

Can’t you eat corn with high blood sugar?

This is a very common problem.

The answer is: It depends on the variety of corn. Waxy corn (sticky corn) is not suitable for diabetics because waxy corn is rich in amylopectin, while sticky amylopectin has a higher postprandial blood sugar response. Incidentally, most sticky grains have a higher postprandial blood sugar response.

However, there are many varieties of sweet corn, among which fruit corn belongs to super sweet corn with high soluble sugar content, which is not suitable for diabetics. However, the sugar index (GI) of boiled ordinary sweet corn is 55, and it is appropriate to eat no more than 75 ~ 100g a day, which is probably more than half of the corn with relatively small roots.

Corn with tomatoes and beef in vegetables and stews is a better choice in winter than monotonous boiled corn and roasted corn.

Beef not only provides high-quality protein, but also is rich in iron. It is a very high-quality meat.

Add vinegar to the beef stew, It’s not just the taste. Vinegar can make beef soft and rotten. It is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends with bad teeth and mouth. For friends who do not have hyperacidity and gastric ulcer problems, adding more vinegar can delay the gastric emptying speed after meals, delay the intake of glucose in intestinal tract, inhibit endogenous glucose generation, and further help reduce blood lipid and help lose weight.

Besides corn, tomatoes are also rich in dietary fiber. Cooked tomatoes, especially when eaten with meat, have a significantly higher absorption rate of lycopene than raw tomatoes.
