Celebrities roughing it in the jungle are frequently served up the dish on the popular ITV show.
A food specialist has claimed that there’s a specific reason that ITV bosses want all the I’m A Celebrity campmates to eat rice and beans together. The stars are often filmed eating this plain blend of ingredients for breakfast and lunch around the campfire.
Contestants always seem to have food on their minds, given just how scarce it is in the Australian jungle. If they’re not successful in the challenges set by Ant and Dec, then a terrible night awaits them of basic and bland rations.
Nutritionist Jenny Tschiesche, a best-selling author, broadcaster and consultant, claimed that the ITV reality show contestants have to likely eat both of these basic items together throughout the day for an important and ‘filling’ reason. She said: “If you’ve ever wondered why the unsuccessful contestants on I’m A Celebrity get their beans and rice, allow me to explain.
These two combine to create a complete protein. Some of the essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are absent from them on their own. The contestants stay fuller for longer because of the beans’ soluble fiber and resistant starch, which will slow down the rice’s carbohydrates’ absorption.
They also provide “complementary nutrients,” they say. You will also get B vitamins from the beans, along with folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. When combined, they are a “nutrient powerhouse.”
Only a few nights in this series have seen stars forced to leave with only their portion of rice and beans after a long day of work. When the camp was split up into Win City and Doomsville, celebrities faced an all-or-nothing situation.
Some nights, Martin Kemp, Kelly Brook, Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, and Aitch went hungry after failing to win certain challenges. There was one evening when Lisa Riley, Ruby Wax, Jack Osbourne, Vogue Williams, Alex Scott and Angry Ginge suffered a night without any extra food.
When the finale airs on December 7 or Sunday, December 7, the King or Queen of the Jungle will be revealed. From 9 p.m., it will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX.
What varieties of rice and beans are consumed?
Previously, Ant and Dec showed exactly how much of the basic rations celebrities get per day in a TikTok clip. If the stars are not successful in completing the daily trial for evening meals, it’s often all they get to eat in a day.
The white beans appear to be dried haricot or navy beans, which are frequently seen on television refrigerated before cooking, and the rice is plain. The celebrities’ pre-packaged portions typically contain up to 800 calories.
