Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tarhana (K.Maraş Style, Dry)
Metabolic Effect: Tarhana regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness thanks to the fiber it contains. Additionally, as it is a fermented product, it contains probiotics that are beneficial for gut health.
Consumption Recommendation: When preparing tarhana soup, you can increase its nutritional value by adding vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, peppers) to its content. It is also important to keep the amount of salt under control.
Things to Consider: Tarhana can contain high levels of sodium (salt). Individuals with high blood pressure, in particular, need to pay attention to the amount they consume. One bowl of tarhana soup can meet a significant portion of the daily sodium requirement.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from one bowl of tarhana soup may require about 30 minutes of light-paced walking or 15 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise. This may vary depending on the amount consumed and individual metabolism.
