Characteristics of baby rice noodles
trait
Baby rice noodles are relatively purer, more scientific and closer to adult food. With the improvement of modern science and technology, the nutritional elements of most baby rice noodles are becoming more and more comprehensive and rich, and at the same time they are getting closer to the nutrition of breast milk. For example, in addition to conventional elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine and zinc, vitamins A, D, E, C and B are added, as well as folic acid and pantothenic acid unique to breast milk. In addition, more and more modern baby rice noodles are gradually paying more attention to modern food trends and the healthy growth of babies, such as the application of non-saccharified baby rice noodles and the hydrolysis process of CHE starch.
process technology
It is divided into wet drying procedures: soaking rice, beating, blending, homogenizing, drum dryer, crushing, tabletting and packaging. Because the products of Peihengshi, Nestle and Shi Ying are mainly flaky, they have the advantages of good rehydration, uniform dispersion of nutrients, low internal heat and good microbial control, and are the mainstream processing technologies at present; There are other puffing drying methods, such as rice crushing, dry mixing, extrusion blasting, crushing, mixed packaging, powdered products, etc., which are easy to agglomerate with water, and the nutrients in dry mixing are unevenly dispersed, which is easy to ignite babies and the microorganisms are difficult to control. But the processing technology is simple, the cost is lower than the former, and there are still some markets at present.
Experts believe that when adding baby food supplements, rice flour should be added first. Scientific research has found that among cereals, rice is the least allergic and most easily digested and absorbed by the human body. At present, even many western countries whose staple food is flour and meat use rice as raw material to make baby complementary food. In China, it has long been the practice to grind rice into powder and mix it into paste to feed babies. Nutrition experts tell us that baby rice flour is actually one of the most important foods in complementary food. At present, there are more than 20 kinds of packages on the market, and 10 baby rice noodles with different flavors can be selected. Baby rice flour is made of high-quality rice, which is scientifically refined through more than ten processes, such as crushing, grinding and high-temperature sterilization, to meet the nutritional needs of babies at different stages. In order to maintain the comprehensive and balanced nutrition of infants, according to international practice, rice flour is usually fed to infants in four portions.
Baby rice noodle purchase
1. Try to choose the products of brand enterprises with large scale and good quality of products and services. The product formula design of these enterprises is more scientific and reasonable, the control of raw materials is stricter, and the quality is guaranteed.
2. See if the label on the package is complete. According to national standards, the outer package must be marked with the name of the factory, site, production date, shelf life, implementation standard, trademark, net content, ingredient list, nutrient composition list and eating method. It is best not to buy products that lack any of the above items.
3. See if the labels in the nutrient composition table are complete and the content is reasonable. Generally, basic nutrients such as calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates, vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, some B vitamins, and trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and phosphorus should be indicated in the nutrient composition table. Other added nutrients should also be marked. According to the national standard of supplementary food in weaning period, the contents of vitamin A and vitamin D are between 1000 ~ 1500 international units and 200 ~ 400 international units respectively. If vitamins A and D, as the main nutritional indicators, are lower than the national standards, it may lead to malnutrition in infants.
4. Look at the product packaging instructions. Baby rice noodles should clearly state that "the ideal food for babies is breast milk, and this product can be eaten when there is insufficient or no breast milk;" When babies over 6 months old eat this product, they should add complementary food. "Weaning formula rice flour should also be marked with" weaning formula food "or" weaning auxiliary food ". These statements must be made clear by enterprises to consumers.
5. Look at the color and smell of the product. Good quality rice noodles should be white, uniform and have the fragrance of rice noodles without other smells, such as fragrance.
6. Look at the organizational form and impulse of the product. It should be powdery or flaky, dry and loose, uniform and non-caking. After being brewed or cooked with proper amount of warm water, it is fully stirred and lubricated into a paste.
7. Look at the ingredient content table to know whether it is supplementary rice flour in weaning period or supplementary rice flour in weaning period. The former not only provides a certain amount of calories, but also supplements fat, protein, minerals and vitamins. The latter is low in fat and protein. In addition to several vitamins and minerals, vegetables, fruits and dietary fiber are added.
Several self-made methods of baby rice noodles
Self-made steps
Step 1: Preparation of rice: There are many kinds of rice, and it is best to use early rice. Other rice will do. But never use glutinous rice, because glutinous rice is difficult to digest. Some mothers can wash rice. It won't grind well after drying. It is best to use the bought rice directly, because the surface of rice is still very nutritious.
Step 2: Preparation of auxiliary materials:
Black beans: the effect of enriching blood.
Lotus seed: the effect of clearing fire.
Walnut: the effect of nourishing brain.
Coix seed rice: the effect of tonifying kidney.
Chicken gizzard skin (chicken gizzard membrane): the effect of digestion.
Yam: the effect of digestion.
Step 3: Put everything prepared in step 2 into the pot and stir-fry for 3 minutes, then take it out. Stir-fry the rice in step 1 for three minutes. Then pour the fried in the second step into the pot and stir. Then when everything cools down, you can enter the fourth step.
Step 4: Take the fried ones to the flour mill next to the food market for grinding. Usually the mill will grind it twice. You should emphasize that they grind it three times, because grinding it three times will be fine. Only babies like it.
Step 5: Take the ground powder home. In our empty milk powder can. Because it won't deliquesce, and it will last a long time.
Step 6: Take out a proper amount of rice flour with a measuring spoon of milk powder (the amount depends on the child). Pour it into a small pot (iron spoon will do), and then add the right amount of cold/warm water. Do not use hot water. Then put it on the gas stove. The gas was mixed from a small fire. Then use chopsticks to stir repeatedly in the pot. Until I smell rice paste. You're done!
Of course, you can also add some other complementary foods, such as vegetable foam/juice, meat foam/soup, tomato juice and so on. When you add these things, you need less water at first, then pour the juice in when you are halfway through stirring, and then stir until you smell the rice paste.
How long should the baby eat baby rice noodles?
There are few salivary glands in the first three months after the baby is born, and the amylase contained in the salivary glands and the amylase in the digestive tract are also quite few. If you feed your baby rice noodles at this time, it will not be easy to digest. Generally speaking, when the baby is 4 months old, you can start adding rice noodles to the baby, from less to more, one by one. There is no specific rule on how long rice noodles can be eaten. When the baby's teeth grow out, you can eat porridge and noodles, so you can stop eating rice noodles.
Nutrition rice noodle
Referring to the scientific and technological standards of infant nutrition recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission of FAO/ WHO and the Nutrition Society of China, taking the physiological characteristics and eating habits of contemporary infants as the research direction, a unique healthy and nutritious rice flour was developed by using high-quality organic rice, milk powder, fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, vitamins and minerals. Products are divided into organic nutritious rice flour series, bovine colostrum nutritious rice flour series and infant 0 nutritious rice flour series. Strictly select the best quality natural and safe raw materials to put into production, and do not add any color, fragrance and taste food additives in the whole production process; Adhere to the principle of original characteristics of food, and produce healthy, natural, safe and nutritious original infant rice flour series on the premise of baby's nutrition and health; The implementation of safety system in the whole series of rice flour products. Delicate rice flour is more suitable for the baby's tender stomach, but if processing AIDS such as emulsifier are not added in the production process, the challenge is superb technology and production cost. British rice noodles adopt the most time-consuming natural emulsification and repeated low-temperature fine grinding, so that the nutrition of rice can be completely separated out as far as possible, and then all kinds of raw materials can be completely chelated by low-temperature homogenization technology to maintain the nutrition of rice noodles, so that British rice noodles are not only delicate and easy to absorb, but also natural, safe, healthy and nutritious.
Chi baby rice noodle
Baby rice flour can be put before or after any breastfeeding, and added at this time. In other words, we should pay attention to complementary food from the beginning, and add it at the same time as milk to avoid adding it between two milks.
When we first added rice noodles, we asked him to eat less, because some children are allergic to rice noodles, which is very rare. If you eat less, you will avoid these problems. First add about 5 grams, that is, a small spoon, each spoon is about 2.5 grams, and each spoon has two spoons. Just make a paste for the children to eat. Before eating the milk, give him some paste and let him taste it.
In the process of eating, in the initial stage of adding complementary food, the main purpose of adding complementary food is not to supplement nutrition, but to let him learn to eat, let him learn to squeeze with his tongue and mouth constantly, and chew and swallow food with the movement of his tongue and mouth. This is the process of eating.
