Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Dried Tarhana
Metabolic Effect: Dried tarhana provides energy due to its carbohydrate content and supports digestion with its fiber content. However, it may have a high glycemic index, which can raise blood sugar quickly.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming tarhana alone, consuming it with protein sources such as yogurt or ayran helps to balance blood sugar. A tarhana soup enriched with vegetables can be a more balanced meal.
Things to Consider: A bowl of tarhana soup contains carbohydrates equivalent to about 2 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control. Especially those who want to control their weight should avoid excessive consumption.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a serving of tarhana soup, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes. This helps you maintain your daily energy balance.
