Q: Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kō niu ma mua o ke kō papaʻaina? ʻAiʻa, niu wai loaʻa nā pōmaikaʻi olakino, akā pehea ka mea ʻono?

A: ʻO ke kō niu ka meaʻai hou loa e puka mai ka niu (ʻike i nā ʻāpana o ka aila niu a me ka wai niu). Akā ʻaʻole like me nā meaʻai ʻē aʻe i lawe ʻia mai ka hua niu ponoʻī, hana ʻia ka kō niu mai ke kohu i kuke ʻia i kahi hana e like me ka hana ʻana o ka syrup maple. ʻO ka hualoaʻa ke kō he ʻano brownish kona e like me ke kō kō.

ʻO ka meaʻai, ʻokoʻa iki ke kō niu mai ke kō papaʻaina, kahi i hana ʻia me 100% sucrose (ʻo nā molekole glucose a me ka fructose i pili pū). ʻO ka kō niu wale nō ma kahi o 75 pakeneka sucrose, me ka liʻiliʻi o ka glucose a me ka fructose. Heʻuʻuku kēia mau ʻokoʻa, akā no laila, like nō ka ʻelua.

Hoʻokahi perk o ke kō niu, ʻoiai? ʻOi aku ka momona o nā minelala e like me ka zinc, potassium, a me ka magnesium ma mua o nā mea ʻono like me ka maple syrup, ka meli, a i ʻole ke kō kōpaʻa maʻamau, ʻaʻohe o kēia mau minelala. ʻO ka pilikia, inā akamai ʻoe e pili ana i kou olakino, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻai kekahi ʻano kō i ka nui e pono ai e lawe i ka nui o kēia mau minerala. ʻO nā nati, nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā ʻiʻo wīwī ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no nā minerale e like me ka zinc a me ka magnesium. A ʻo nā mea kanu e like me nā ʻōmato a me ka kale e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokō i kāu mau pono pāpaʻa-ʻaʻole ke kō niu!

Eia kekahi, ʻo kahi o ka huikau e pili ana i ke kō niu, ʻo ia ka helu glycemic index rating-he ana pili i ka wikiwiki o ke kō i loko o kahi meaʻai i hāʻawi ʻia e piʻi ai ke kō koko. ʻIke ʻia nā meaʻai index glycemic ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kāu (ʻoiai ʻo ia manaʻo he kontroversial). A me kahi anamanaʻo papa inoa glycemic o ke kō niu e ka Food and Nutrition Research Institute ma ka ʻāina Pilipino ua ʻike ʻia he papa kōnane glycemic o 35 kō ke kō niu, a e hoʻolilo ana i "index" glycemic index index "haʻahaʻa" a ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka hana ma mua o ke kō kō. Eia naʻe, ʻo kahi loiloi hou loa e ke Kulanui o Sydney Glycemic Index Research Service (ke alakaʻi honua ma ke kumuhana) i helu ʻia ma 54. ʻO ka papa inoa glycemic o ke kō kōpaʻa: 58 a 65. He aha kāu e ʻike maoli ai? He nominal kēia mau ʻokoʻa.

ʻO ka hope, kō kō. Inā makemake ʻoe i ka ʻono o ke kō niu i loko o kāu kope, maikaʻi kēlā. E hoʻohana i ka mea āu e makemake ai - e hoʻohana liʻiliʻi.
