That’s why you should always rinse your rice!

by


All types of rice should be rinsed before being poured into a pot, add water, and be set to boil on the stove.

Rice grows on large cereal fields in Europe and Asia. When they are ripe, they are harvested.
During the finishing of the harvested rice, the rice will lie on the ground before being packed. A little dirt cannot be avoided.
