Wheat

I wish wheat is become my country staple food. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like rice. And not just because I love bread more than rice, but the content of wheat is more than rice.

I heard about “Why much of Indonesia people are shorter?” And the answer is because we consume lots of carbohydrates than other nutrient like protein and fat. I don’t know.. Maybe this is right, because since I was little kid, I really fall in love with bread. I remember, I can cry when my mom told me to eat my dinner

Also, I love potato too. My grandma told to my mom, “do not give her potato, it could make she tall” I don’t know what she was right or not. Now, here I’m.. I’m 68.11 inch. For Indonesia women, especially in my town, I’m classified a tall women But almost all of my family are tall, but I’m the taller also beautiful

Here’s the comparison data I found, but I included potatoes and sweet corn too.

As you can see, maybe wheat is less energy than rice but the other content of wheat is more that rice, even sweet corn and potato. The folate is high, 70% of  our Nutritional Adequacy Rate (in Indonesian: AKG). I think it’s very good for pregnant women.

I know there’s a wheat flour (terigu) for making a bread, but I see it’s not enough wheat. If wheat flour full of wheat, why does there is just “bread” and “wheat bread”? And the color of bread isn’t same between their both. The sadness part, I can’t find wheat bread here, at town where I live

There’s cereal made by wheat, but I don’t like it. I prefer to bread and cake than cereal
