Table for the percentage of food for 100 gr.

Cereals are complex food, and have a highrer percentage of starches than a weak percentage of proteins.

The digestion of a complex aliment happens through further secretions of digestive juices, that are suitable for the digestion of each food. The rice has the less high rate of proteins and its digestion will be carried out with a minor risk of fermentation than the other cereals and, above all, than legumes. On the other hand, for its high rate of starch it will give a bigger difficulty for digestion to change starch molecules into sugar. The fats are in very small amounts both in cereals and legumes and they will play a minor role during the digestion.
