Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Xa kuziwa kwipitsa, intetho yakudala ethi "ukuba ayophuki, sukuyilungisa" ngokuqinisekileyo iyasebenza. Ukudityaniswa kwe-chewy crust, itshizi enetyuwa, kunye ne-garlicky marinara sauce, zonke ziboshwe kunye ne-hodgepodge ye-spicy kunye ne-crunchy toppings, ngokuqinisekileyo ayinasiphoso.

Kodwa ngoku, ichickpea-ipasta yohlobo lweBanza ngokucacileyo ithi esihogweni kunye nelo qhinga ngokukhupha umgca wee-pizza eziqingqiweyo ezenziwe nge-chickpea crust (Thenga yona, $ 50, amazon.com) - eyokuqala yohlobo lwayo, ngophawu. I-pizza crusts, eyenziwe ngomxube olula we-chickpeas, amanzi, i-tapioca, ibhotela ye-cocoa, ioli yomnquma, kunye neziqholo, oku kuthetha ukuba zombini azinagluten kunye ne-vegan. I-crusts ithengiswa zombini ngaphandle kwe-toppings ngobusuku be-pizza ye-DIY *kwaye* njengeepizza ezisele zilungele ukutyiwa, kuquka i-Four Cheese, iMargherita, kunye neVeggie eRostiweyo. (Izinto eziNxulumeneyo: Iiresiphi eziphilileyo zePizza Crust usebenzisa iVeggies kunye neeGrains ezipheleleyo)

Ngokwabo, iicrave crusts zipakisha iigram ezimbini zefayibha kunye neegram ezine zeprotheyini kwisilayi ngasinye, kodwa xa zifakwe kwizithambisi, zingamandla endawo yesondlo. Isiqingatha nje se-pizza ye-Cheese e-Four (Yithenge, i-$ 8, i-target.com), umzekelo, iqulethe iigrams ezintlanu zefiber kunye ne-17 grams yeprotheyini - i-17 yepesenti ye-Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) ye-fiber kunye nangaphezulu. Isithathu se-RDA seprotein, nge-USDA nganye.

Elinye icala, nangona kunjalo, ngumxholo we-pizza ogcweleyo. Enye i-payi ye-Cheese yesine iqulethe i-10 grams, okanye isiqingatha se-USDA esicetyiswayo sokutya kwansuku zonke ngamafutha ahluthayo, ayisiyonto yonke into emangalisayo ukuba ingakanani itshizi efakwe phezulu, utsho uGans. “Andinakuvumela amanqatha ahluthekileyo ukuba athintele umntu ekubeni afumane le pizza,” uyongezelela. “Ndiya kuthi, nangona kunjalo, ndiqiniseke ukuba bayayiqonda indlela abatyebe ngayo amanqatha abanayo kwenye indawo imini yonke. Isizathu saloo nkxalabo kukuba amafutha agcweleyo adibaniswa nomngcipheko okhulayo wesifo senhliziyo. Nokuba umncinci kwaye ayisiyongxaki kangako, akukaze kube kudala kakhulu ukuqala ukuthintela. "

Xa kuthelekiswa nee-pizza ze-cauliflower-crust ezishukumisa imarike, ii-Banza's ayizizo zonke ezahlukileyo, zithetha ngokutya. Thatha i-pizza yeCaulipower yeCheuliflower Crust pizza (Yithenge, $ 7, target.com), umzekelo. I-pie inama-calories angama-20 ambalwa kunye ne-4 gram yeoli egcweleyo ngokutya ngaphezu kwe-Banza ye-ultra-cheesy, i-410-calorie version, kodwa inika i-fiber encinci kunye neprotheni. Ngokusisiseko, akukho pizza iyizandla ezantsi ezilungele wena kunezinye. UGans uthi: "Ukuba kuye kwafuneka ndicebise omnye komnye, bendiya kuhamba ngokungqongqo kwinto umntu ayithandayo."

Ngelixa u-Banza enomlenze omncinci phezulu kwi-pizza yesiqhelo efriziwe ngandlela thile, ayisiyonto ikhethiweyo enempilo. Ngokomzekelo, i-Amy's Cheese Pizza enye (Yithenge, i-$ 7, i-target.com) iqulethe i-40 yeekhalori ezongezelelweyo, malunga ne-500 yeegram ze-sodium, kwaye ngaphantsi kwesiqingatha se-fiber njenge-Banza's Four Cheese, nangona i-Amy's version inamafutha amancinci amancinci. kunye neegram ezimbalwa ezongezelelweyo zeprotheni. Kwakhona, into ethatha isigqibo kufuneka yonke yehle kwii-tastebuds zakho. "Ukuba awuyithandi incasa yale pizza crusts, akufuneki uzive unetyala malunga nokuba nesilayi esiqhelekileyo se-pizza," utshilo uGans. (PS, uya kufuna ukugcina ezinye ii-pizza ezivunyiweyo zesondlo nazo.)

Kodwa ngokusekwe kuvavanyo lwam lokuqala lokungcamla, ii-pizza zikaBanza ziqinisekile ukwanelisa. I-chickpea crust yayivakala ngokuvakalayo kwaye yayineziqendu ezibonakalayo (kufana ne-lamination oyibonayo kwintlama ye-puff pastry), eyayinika ukukhanya okulula kunokuba ndikulindele. IMargherita yayineemfumba ze-mozzarella ezinesilky, kwaye njengesauce gal, ndawuxabisa umaleko omdaka we-marinara egqunywe ngeshizi. I-bell pepper, i-anyanisi e-caramelized, kunye nesipinatshi azizange zigutyungelwe zintathu - ewe, ezintathu - iintlobo zeeshizi ezisetyenziswe kwi-Roasted Veggie pie, oku kuthetha ukuba ndiyakwazi ukukhetha zonke iincasa zomntu ngamnye emlonyeni. Ukuba bendenze ukungcamla okungaboniyo phakathi kweepayi zikaBanza kunye neekorile eziqhelekileyo zengqolowa, ii-tastebuds zam ezihambelana ne-pizza ngekhe zikwazi ukukhetha uhlobo lwe-chickpea, nokuba bazame kangakanani.

Kuba i-zas bezimnandi ngokungacacanga, ndenze nantoni na elambileyo engama-20: Ngokuchaseneyo noko isisu sam sandenza ukuba ndikholelwe, umfazi ophakathi mhlawumbi akufuneki atye i-pizza ye-Banza yonke, enokuthi ibe neekhalori ezingama-820 kwaye iphantse ibethe umlinganiselo wemihla ngemihla wokutya okutyebileyo kwamafutha kwipayi nganye, utshilo uGans. "Sonke siyathanda ukugqiba iipie, kodwa iipie ezizezinye zinokulahlekisa," utshilo. "Kumntu oqhelekileyo, ubungakanani besahlulo sisiqingatha sepayi, kungekhona ipayi epheleleyo, ngoko ke ndingacebisa ukuba ube nesaladi enkulu ephosiweyo ecaleni kwayo ukukunceda ukukugcwalisa." Kuqwalaselwe ngokufanelekileyo.

Ngelixa ndingenakutsho ukuba ndiza kukhetha i-pizza ye-chickpea-crust enegluten-free phezu kwe-flour-based ngalo lonke ixesha umnqweno ongenakuthintelwa uhlasela, iipizza zikaBanza zithole indawo efanelekileyo kwisikhenkcisi sam kwikamva elibonakalayo. Ukugcina iimpahla zesaladi esecaleni kwifriji yam, nangona kunjalo, lelinye ibali.
