Grain has to be malted (germinated then roasted) before its starch can be converted into sugar. When you mix malted grain with cold water and gradually bring it to a boil, a process known in the beer industry as mashing, the heat will activate the enzymes that were produced by the malting process.
@morristgh3 жыл бұрын
You are talking about the (much more efficient) enzymatic process used in beer making. Driven by the enzymes especially prominent in grains like barley or rye. Adam is talking more about some sort of "brute force" chemical reaction where extended heating will cause the starches to break down eventually. Just adding to water to starch will also break the glycosidic bonds to some degree.

Assuming that’s what I in the UK would call porridge, that’s very understandable. I didn’t even do it for weight reasons, I just got tired of being hungry so soon after eating. The only cereals I kept bothering with are Weetabix and fruit ‘n fibre because they also kept me satisfied. Bacon and eggs also keeps you going for a long time, and the fat content is generally also in the right ratio vs protein (such as weight trainers look for) to maximise absorption, and it sorta serves to replace the complex carbs as the fuel (while the protein serves as the building blocks for your body to build/repair). Where porridge is complex carbs and protein (from both the milk and the oats). I’ll usually slice a banana on top or add some berries with porridge, or Weetabix, or fruit ‘n fibre, for the quick pick me up in the morning (not to mention helping with the five a day).

just eat less and move more. So as long as your diet is full of nutrients youll be fine. If your fat is made up of shit quality toxic sludge then you wont take in nutrients and feel perpetually hungry every time your body has to fall back on crap fat stores. Seasonally people gain fat for the winter and then shed most of it due spring. Holding onto same fat stores for years is a bad thing. Lots of things can go wrong. The lower your body mass (still healthy) the easier it is for the body to manage.

In the cold north of Sweden we still eat "knäckebröd" (crisp bread). It's bread baked thin to dry up as much as possible in the oven, traditionally varied in cereal used for it depending on region, sometimes it even was made unleavened. A poll some while back approximated that 85% of Swedes have knäckebröd at home (and for good reason, being baked like that really brings out other more complex flavors and has incredible shelf life if properly stored). Knäckebröd, in particular the rye flour kind, really serves as a good base for just about any type of topping to contrast it (the heterogeneity thing) and imo highlight the best in both the bread and the topping instead of competing for attention (to an extent).
@taxdragon Жыл бұрын
I agree. My parents were born and raised in Scandinavia (Sweden and Denmark), so I was raised with knækbrød. I would get anxious if I ran out and I live in Canada. It's kind of funny that a 100% rye knækbrød doesn't compete with the flavour of the topping, but 100% rye rugbrød does compete.

Thats why God, promise if Him or us doesnt guard His commands He will come, suffer and die for our sins. And God is not a liar, He has made it. Jesus has died so we can live, eternally.

Hey Adam great video, however I do have one gripe. At 14:32 you explain some of the negative health effects of cereal regarding blood sugar, of which you are absolutely right about. However, you then make an analogy to fruit which is not quite how it works. In fruit there are a lot of simple sugars yes, but the key difference is that whole fruit (not smoothies, not juices) is full of FIBRE. This means that when we eat fruit we do not instantly absorb all that sugar, rather it is slowly absorbed and we do not get a sudden spike followed by a crash, instead we get a nice and slow rise and fall of blood sugar back to baseline.

Plot twist at the end. Love it! Modern day zwieback toast is great. I love it. I ate it when I was little, my family is mostly German and it was considered a treat... Crunchy little pieces of toast topped with some butter and jelly. Loved it. Still do. When I lived in Germany it was still popular and is great for a rocky tummy. Brandt is the only brand I know of here in the US and I've seen it in some Kroger, Meijer, Whole Foods and Amazon.

haha.. German's my mother tongue. I never thought of Zwieback referring it to being baked twice xD Zwieback the way I ever had it was always sweet. It's not far removed from like a Biscotti. Also "Zwie-" is pronounced "Tsvee" like "Zwieback" or "Zwielicht" 'Twilight' "Zwei" is 'Tsvai' like in "Zweihänder".

Edit: so it turns out this is a really dumb suggestion I made. But I'll leave it up rather than delete it, since there was a good conversation that came afterwards. I'm going to guess that the original German is zweiback and somehow it got mutated into zwieback in English. Official English pronunciation is "ZWEE-back" although the ancestral German side of my family is begging me to say "TSVAI-bock"
@Broockle3 жыл бұрын
@@vinnytube1001 uhhh maybe. In modern highGerman it's "Zwieback" which I'd transliterate as 'Tsveebuck' for Americans. Zwie- and Zwei are both used in different words. Zwei just means 2 by itself. Zwie- is more of a prefix, you never see it by itself. But ye Mittelhochdeutsch and Altdeutsch were not as centrilised as modern Hochdeutsch is so they had all kinds of words. It's still kinda like that today with the different dialects of German. Language is not easy to pin down. Words do strange things.

@@Broockle No doubt. My intuition - which I accept was wrong - about zwie/zwei being mixed up is because the sound of ei/ie are either reversed (or just different) between German and English. It trips up a lot of Americans trying to pronounce German words. Seemed totally reasonable that a misspelling could enter our lexicon (oven though it didn't).

Personally, home made bread is a close second to pre-packaged industrial bread when it comes to longevity, but maybe it's because i generally add whole grain flour (even homemade white bread always seems to stale quicker). Ps: it's pronounced zwee-back (zwee like your yelling out "weee" when going down a slide, and back like you'd pronounce Johann Sebastian Bach).
