Frequently Asked Questions
Should you rinse white rice before cooking?
Rinsing removes excess starch for fluffier, less sticky rice. However, if rice is enriched, rinsing may wash away added nutrients. For sushi rice, rinsing is essential for proper texture.
Is white rice bad for blood sugar?
White rice has a higher glycemic index (72-89) than brown rice (50-55). Pairing with protein, vegetables, or fat slows absorption. For diabetics, portion control and meal composition matter more than avoiding rice entirely.
