Do You Have to Wash Rice? 🍚

You’ve probably heard that you should always rinse rice before cooking—but do you actually have to wash rice?

Washing rice can remove excess surface starch, which can make a noticeable difference in how your cooked rice turns out. But whether you should rinse it—and how many times—can depend on the type of rice you’re cooking and the texture you want.

Comment "RICE" and I'll send you the TWO easiest ways to wash rice, or use the link in the comments to read the full post!

I’m breaking down why you wash rice, when you should rinse it, and how to wash rice properly for better results.
