The Dhaka Times Desk Rice packets are recommended to be washed before cooking. But what can happen if this rule is not obeyed?
In Bengali homes, rice is still cooked at least once a day. And there is a deep-rooted idea among Bengalis that if rice is cooked without washing, that rice contains more vitamins. Is this even true? Not at all. You will notice that most rice packets also recommend washing before cooking. Many may think this is an unnecessary task. But there are many reasons for washing rice.
For the same reason that fruits and vegetables must be washed before cooking, rice must also be washed. This rice has to pass through various places like fruits and vegetables to reach the store near your home. May come in contact with dust, sand, dirt on the way. So it can get dirty. It is normal that the rice is washed clean for use.
What can happen if the rice is not washed?
The first fear is getting sick. The dust present in it cannot cause any harm to the body. Which can cause various diseases if it enters the body regularly.
Also the taste of rice is different. If you cook the rice without washing it, there is a risk of the rice melting. In many cases, if the rice is not washed, it does not bloom well. And then it may be difficult for you to digest that rice. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
