Description
It has been scientifically proven that pasta made from durum wheat does not harm our figure at all. Of course, unless you drown it in a pile of ketchup mixed with mayonnaise and other spices. Interestingly, and contrary to common belief, pasta contains the necessary amount of protein - 13 g per 100 g of product, which contributes to weight loss, as it 'melts' fat rather than muscle tissue. Pasta also contains so-called slow sugars, which burn almost completely but gradually. Experts note that these sugars are the best 'fuel' for athletes: they replenish glycogen stores in the muscles. Additionally, pasta is rich in vitamin B1, which reduces fatigue. Many people think that cooked pasta should be rinsed with fresh water. This should never be done! Rinsing reduces the vitamin content in pasta and sharply disrupts their temperature regime. Interestingly, the name 'pasta' comes from the Greek 'makaria' - 'blessing', 'happiness'.
