The coconut oil stops the cold rice from sticking together, and also seems to produce more resistant starch in the rice, further reducing the number of calories.
椰子油能防止冷饭粘在一起,也会促使米饭中产生更多的抗酶解淀粉,从而进一步减少卡路里的数量.
Food scientist Dr Sam Christie explains: 'The oil may be providing a barrier to the boiling water, slowing down the cooking of the rice. The result appears to be a less digestible form of rice containing more resistant starch.'
食品科学家山姆·克里斯蒂博士解释说："油可以在沸腾的水中建立起一个屏障,减缓大米被蒸煮的程度,这也会产生更多不易消化的抗酶解淀粉.
These are, she warns, preliminary findings. However, this could be wonderful news for dieters.
她也警告说,这些都只是初步发现.然而,这仍然是节食者的好消息.
But don't forget, reheating rice can lead to food poisoning.
但不要忘记,重复加热米饭可能导致食物中毒.
Dr Martin Goldberg, microbiology lecturer at Nottingham Trent University warns: 'The bacterium Bacillus cereus, found on some rice, can survive the cooking process. As rice cools, the spores germinate and produce a neurotoxin that can make you horribly sick.
诺丁汉特伦特大学微生物学讲师马丁·哥德堡也警示："有些米饭中含有细菌性蜡样芽胞杆菌,蒸煮过程可能无法将它们灭活.大米冷藏后,孢子发芽,产生一种令人严重不适的神经毒素.
'If you wish to eat cold or reheated rice, cook small amounts and put straight into the fridge to cool quickly.'
"如果你想吃冷饭或重复加热的米饭,可以少量蒸煮,然后直接放入冰箱中迅速冷却."
