Hi. I always wash my rice before I cook it, but I don't exactly know how that improves anything. Anybody know? What's the difference between unwashed and washed rice? What comes off of the rice? How does the flavour and texture change? How does the nutritious value change?
Some people say that when you wash rice it becomes less sticky, but in Japan everyone washes their rice, and the prefered texture is for the rice to be a little sticky so that you can eat it easily with chopsticks. I doubt Japanese would want to wash away nutrients, yet people always wash rice in Japan.
