Every Indian kitchen has a rice-washing ritual. You rinse the grains under running water until it turns clear, then cook as usual. But does rinsing rice remove nutrients in the process?

It isn’t only an Indian kitchen question, either. Home cooks in the US, UK, Middle East and Southeast Asia ask the same thing before every meal. Let’s look at what science actually says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
