Food is arguably the best thing in God's creation. There are several food options available to us and there are also several way in which we enjoy them. In order to get a complete nutrient, different verities of food need to be combined in the right proportion in every given meal. While this is actually the best way to have a balanced diet, it can also be the leading cause of several health complications when done outrageously. When it comes to eating right, there are some certain combinations that most people think is quite weird and unhealthy but in reality they are actually not.
Below are food combinations that seem not cool but are actually super-cool.
Beans and Meat
Beans and meat combo is actually a meal that seem outrageous. Most times when we get to restaurants and we see anyone dinning on this combination, we often label the person as uncivilized or someone who don't know whats called eating healthy. Although both meals tend to fall under the same class of food (protein) but they are slightly different and they pretty much go well together.
Beans is a plant protein that does not contain a complete amino acids while meat is an animal protein that does. Combining both meals will actually assure you a complete and a quality protein diet. So the next time you dine out, don't feel ashamed to order for this combination because both will actually provide you with the most complete protein ever.
Rice and Potato
For the fact that both foods are carbohydrate doesn't mean that they don't pretty much go together. Rice is a cereal and potato is a tuber, both have different levels of nutrient. Rice contains much protein and fat than potato while potato contains more vitamin and mineral than rice. Feel free to combine and get a balanced diet.
Spaghetti and Beans
Back then in school while in my room, my friends came visiting and they met me dinning hard on pasta and beans, they mocked the living hell out of me. Anyway i wasn't embarrassed because i could see their ignorance vividly. And again I was fortunate to be a biochemistry student who knows quite a lot about nutrition.
Spaghetti is a pasta made strictly of wheat and that made it quite rich in carbohydrate, While beans on the other is a food highly rich in protein. So there is absolutely no reason why these two cannot go together. Although most people accepts this as a nice recipe but majority still looks at it a weird combination.
Pancake and pap
Pancake and pap is a very nice, rich and delicious meal. This meal is even more balanced than the others on this list, but its rather unfortunate that most people still see this combo as weird and unhealthy. Pancake is one of the most rich and easy made pastries anyone can do at anytime, It is a food that seem to consist all the classes of food. When making a pancake, you are going to be needing Flour, milk, eggs, butter, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, onion and some other spicy. For a food with such a complete ingredient, it is quite absurd to think that it can't go quite well with pap.
Although most people prefer to enjoy pancake with either tea or soft drink but i think the glory of pancake is best complete when it goes with pap. And adding an extra milk to your pap while slopping down with pancake, is just a bonus.
