Is rice considered a pasta?!
My mom is diabetic and has been eating a lot of rice and spaghetti but she says that rice doesn't count as pasta so it's okay for her to eat rice the day after she just had some spaghetti!. I consider them both pasta!. They're both white and of the same texture and I've always heard people refer to both as pasta!. Isn't rice considered a pasta!? And how often a week should a diabetic be eating pasta!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Rice is a grain and is actually grown!. Pasta is made from flour!. But, BOTH of them are starches and carbs and should be limited!. Carbs will raise blood sugar levels (also legumes)!. She probably shouldn't have carbs more than once a day TOTAL!. We've found that eating tofu, though, will lower my husband's blood sugar after meals (as much as 30 pts once), so I'll sometimes put some cubes in spaghetti sauce to counteract the carbs in the pasta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
rice is not a pasta, it's a grain!.
rice is grown on plants and pasta is made with flour and water and other ingredients!. as for how often she should eat it!.!.!.i didn't know diabetics had restrictions on grains and pastas so i can't really answer that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
