The FoodOboz editorial team shares useful tips from chefs on how many times to rinse different types of rice before cooking.

Long-grain (basmati, jasmine)

It should be rinsed 3-4 times until the water is almost clear.

Round-grain rice

For porridge, sushi, pilaf – rinse 4-5 times to remove excess starch.

Brown or wild rice

It is enough to wash it 1-2 times, but it is better to soak it before cooking. But, if the water is still cloudy after several rinses, you can rinse again until it is clear!
