Peanut or Butter for breakfast, which is more beneficial?
A light meal is required upon waking up in the morning. During this time, many people have breakfast with roti-bread and some have slices of bread. Usually a little conscious people keep peanuts or butter with these breakfast ingredients. The trend of breakfast with bread and peanuts or butter has been going on for many years. However, an unknown question remains in the mind, which is more beneficial, peanut or butter?
One slice of bread-and-butter contains about 4.1 grams of protein. This material is equivalent to 7.3-8.9 percent of daily protein. If enough protein enters the body from the beginning of the day, then the nutritional needs will be met. Breakfast with bread contains 18 grams (17 grams of bread and 1 gram of butter) of carbs. A substantial amount of carbs at the start of the day will keep energy levels high. These foods rich in fiber keep the stomach clean. So peanut butter is coming as an alternative to butter.
Butter is made from milk. Butter is made by extracting the cream or fatty substance from the milk of cow, buffalo or goat. And peanut butter is made by mixing peanuts or peanut powder with vegetable oil or vegetable oil and salt according to taste.
Caloric Difference: A section of conscious people these days prefers peanut butter over butter. Because it contains a small amount of fat and calories. There are 717 calories per 100 grams of butter. And 100 grams of peanut butter contains 567 calories. Peanut butter is also relatively low in fat. There are only 50 grams of fat per 100 grams. And butter contains 81 grams. Peanut butter is perfect for those who want to lose unwanted body weight.
Protein difference: Peanut butter is higher in protein than butter. 100 grams of peanut butter contains 25 grams of protein. And butter has only 1 gram of protein. Apart from this, peanut butter also contains omega 3 fatty acids, which help in brain and bone formation.
Chia seed and Tokma seeds are the same?
Everyone who is health conscious knows about Chia seed as a modern super food. Chia seed is world famous for increasing stamina and providing long lasting energy. Also, this chia seed is universally accepted as a food and remedy for many diseases including weight loss, diabetes, heart disease.
Chia seed is produced in Mexico and is rarely produced in South Asian countries. However, over the years, Chia seeds have been confused with the Asian chia seeds time and time again. Although both are of mint class and look almost the same, there are some differences in terms of breeding, nutritional quality and health.
--- Chia seed looks like a mixture of brown, gray and black oval or egg-shaped grains.
And tokma grains are basically black and slightly dark brown elongated round grains, much like flattened rice.
--- If Tokma seeds are soaked in water, they will swell and become covered with clot within a few moments. On the other hand, chia seed takes a long time to soak in water. Soaked chia seeds are larger in size than chia seeds.
In terms of taste, Chia seed has no taste, while Tokma seeds have a mild flavor. So Chia seed is used more in making smoothies.
--- Nutritional value
1) Chia seed is mainly discussed as a source of omega 3 fatty acids. Because 1 tablespoon of Chia seed contains omega 3 about 3 grams. Tokma grains, on the other hand, have half the amount of omega 3 fats.
2) Fiber or dietary fibers are more available in Tokma seeds than Chia seeds. 7 grams of fiber is found in 1 tablespoon of tokma grains, which is enough to meet the fiber needs of a normal person for the whole day.
3) In addition, the amount of protein is slightly higher in Tokma grains.
However, the amount of calcium, iron, magnesium is high in Chia seed.
