RIDATES- alternative rice for reducing diabetis
White rice, which is the main carb in Asian diet, has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes. White rice which has a high glycemic index, releases glucose quickly and causes a rapid rise in blood glucose. Hence, ridates is an innovation to help diabetes patients with nutritional alternatives. This innovation's main objectives are to serve as the main source of carbohydrate for diabetes patients and also to prevent the increase in rate of diabetes cases among South East Asian. The most important materials in ridates are date seeds, cempedak seeds, durian seeds and red spinach as these organic ingredients are rich with protein, carbohydrate and also vitamins. In addition, ridates has less glucose quantity compared to white rice and brown rice. Moreover, it contains antioxidants as it helps in reducing the risk of many diseases including diabetes. From ridates, we hope our project will be successful and more widespread all over the country so that we can help those who are suffering from diabetes. It also can reduce the waste from date seeds, cempedak seeds, durian seeds and red spinach
