High protein, help blood sugar control, rootless ping will become the next "superfood"?

israeli researchers say a protein-rich rootless protein
Mankai
potential to become a raw material for healthy food.is said to have been eaten in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years, its dry substance protein content of up to
45%
or more, known as "vegetarian meatballs." This water plant has also been shown to contain a good protein balance structure, similar in amino acid structure to eggs - containing all
9
essential amino acids and
6
conditional amino acids.randomized controlled cross-test, led by Professor
Iris Shai
of

Ben-Gurion
University in Israel, suggests that the protein-rich rootless python may control blood sugar levels after the body eats carbohydrates. The researchers used the experiment to confirm that the aquatic plant has "great potential to become a superfood."Benefits of Mankai
The new trial is a sub-research project of the large-scale "Diet Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial - Unprocessed Polyphenols
DIRECT PLUS
", which aims to explore the effects of a green Mediterranean diet.the team, published in the journal Diabetes Care, compared
Mankai
rootless milkshakes with acid granny shakes, which were consistent in carbohydrate, protein, fat and calorie content. Two weeks after glucose sensor monitoring, participants who drank
Mankai
shakes performed better on a range of health indicators - including lower glucose peak levels, lower fasting blood sugar levels, late peak times, and faster glucose metabolism.researchers also felt more full, with the report noting that "rootless milkshakes are slightly more full than acid granny shakes."

"Rootless Ping

has potentially beneficial after-dinner blood sugar effects and may be an emerging alternative source of plant proteins," the report's authors wrote.Mankai
is a rootless ping product developed by Israel's
Hinoman
company in

, formerly known as "the world's smallest vegetable", which is currently hydroponically hydroponic in a closed environment in Israel and several other countries and can be harvested throughout the year.The aquatic plant is said to be highly sustainable in terms of environmental impact - compared to other land-based plants such as soybeans, kale or spinach,
Mankai
produces only a fraction of the former's water per g of protein and does not require pesticides.Mankai
protein can be up to
45%-48%
. In addition, the team noted that the rootless protein is rich in polyphenols, such as phenolic acid and
flavonoids

.According to
Hinoman

Mankai
is currently sold in the form of refined powders, ranging from baking products and sports nutrition products to pasta, and tastes milder than spirulina, spinach or kale.
