JAKARTA - In addition to sweet foods, fried foods are a favorite menu for breaking the fast. However, fried foods also have many negative sides if consumed continuously.

Health expert Dr. Fanny R Imannuddin, M. Biomed (AAM), ABAARM recommends the use of cassava or cassava and corn for use in fried doughs compared to other flour.

"I prefer cassava flour, mocaf, to be much healthier or corn or almond flour," said Dr. Fanny as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 29.

He did not recommend adding rice flour in fried doughs, although for some people this can add to the ransomy sensation on the dish,

"It's better to be pure because the rice is quite high. If the consumption is quite high, the protein will be sticky in digestion, eventually the nutrients will not run smoothly, they cannot be taken optimally," he explained.

In terms of oil for frying, Fanny reminded, people should choose coconut oil because it is a saturated fat that is still considered healthy.

He also suggested that oil use should not be carried out repeatedly, especially until the color blackens so that it does not turn into trans fat.

"If the fried foods that we consume from oil are repeatedly used, the color will turn black, of course, the trans fat is already high. What we hope is that the consumption of low foods is trans fat," he said.
