Can you give me one reason why I should?

>>21551013 (OP)
The same reason you should shower everyday. To rinse off the gayness.

so it doesn't become gummy upon cooking /thread truth nuke based

>>21551013 (OP)
No. I don't care what you do. You're welcome to be a retard who makes bad food if you want.

>>21551013 (OP)
I always do because there was a period where I wanted to nail fried rice, and the few times I forgot or got lazy I ended up with soggy, clumpy rice.

>>21551013 (OP)
why cant you google it?

To have less starch

>>21551013 (OP)
Because it depends of the dishe.

For duck with wild rice you want a fluffy rice .

Others you need that starch for a creamy consistense like a risotto.

Shut the fuck up.

>>21551013 (OP)
If you prefer the texture. That's literally it.

To avoid the beetus

The only time I ever rinsed starch off rice was to make sushi tbqh. I don't know why you would do it otherwise, it makes already bland rice even blander.

>Caring about texture as an amateur cook
Just eat your food retards

it'll foam when it simmers and shit up your pots. nothing worse than seeing goo bubbling out of the top of your ricemaker.
japanese also call it "stinky rice", which I guess is true.
more importantly, most of the heavy metals and contaminants are on the surface and in the starch, which washing removes.

>>21551013 (OP)
you rinse before you cook, not after.

carbohydrates aren't food
