今日の献立は、

　玄米ご飯、大豆入りキーマカレーライス、キャベツのひじきドレッシング、みかん、牛乳でした。

☆玄米ご飯☆

　給食の玄米ご飯は、白米と大阪産の玄米を10:1の割合で炊いています。玄米は、胚芽を残しているため、白米に比べて腸の調子を整える食物繊維や、貧血を予防する鉄、紫外線などから肌を守るビタミンEが多く含まれています。また、エネルギーがゆっくり吸収されるため、授業や部活動で集中力や持久力を保つのに役立ちます。

Today’s school lunch menu consisted of:

Brown rice, keema curry with soybeans, cabbage salad with *hijiki* (seaweed) dressing, a mandarin orange, and milk.

☆Brown Rice☆

The brown rice served in our school lunches is a blend of white rice and brown rice grown in Osaka, mixed in a 10:1 ratio. Because the germ remains intact, brown rice contains more dietary fiber—which helps regulate intestinal health—than white rice. It is also rich in iron, which helps prevent anemia, and vitamin E, which protects the skin from factors like ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, since the energy from brown rice is absorbed slowly, it helps students maintain focus and endurance during classes and club activities.
