I have asked this question over and over these past few days and have yet to get a reply.

Many of you consume alot of rice, so you should know.

Is it absolutely necessary to rinse rice first?

I do not have a drainer.

The author of the following article said that they have never rinsed and probably never going to.

What about you?

I have scrambled eggs with vegetables and rice planned for today. Would you pull through for myself?

Thank you!

Knowing the kind of exposure the rice goes through we rinse the rice before use not once but thrice.

This morning, I asked a couple of friends if they rinse first and they said no. I thought that I was losing my mind as I have never rinsed first.

Here is what the Net says about rinsing rice before use

I always rinse my rice. You don't need a strainer. Rinsing the rice helps get the dirt or debris off, and it improves the texture.

I personally think it's necessary, especially for us who buy local rice, it will help removing dust, sand and any other dirt.

I have not rinsed and the rice turned out good.

The effect of not rinsing rice and cooking it will be felt in course of time

I rinse the rice because something I need to know about rice is there is a stage on rice harvest where they sun-dry it on the ground. So every dirt from the ground, you know, goes to that rice.
