For many, rice is a universal garnish that is served with any dish.

Many have heard that it needs to be washed before cooking.

However, not everyone adheres to this important recommendation.

Why is it worth washing rice anyway?

If you wash the cereal at least once before cooking, then this question will no longer arise for you. As soon as you shift the cereal and fill it with water, you can see how spoiled grains and twigs emerge.

Even expensive cereals can have this disadvantage.

Then you need to drain the water and rinse the rice under the tap for several minutes.

At this point, we get rid of possible sand and dust that inevitably gets into the bag.

Washed rice will be much tastier and more aromatic, so do not miss the moment of preparing cereals for cooking.

In addition, some believe that this preliminary procedure can help you get rid of phytic acid.

Few people know that this substance does not allow the absorption of many of the nutrients that make up rice.
