Not only are you flushing valuable nutrients down the drain, YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER. Some people wash their rice up to SEVEN TIMES. At 1/2 gallon per rinse, that's 3.5 gallons of water absolutely wasted every batch.

Not my problem.
I just water my plants with it, my water bill is my problem. I don't care about the environment though.
>my water bill
You pay money for water?
you're only flushing nutrients if it's enriched rice.
I always wash my rice when I shower, so it isn't as wasteful, and yes I enjoy a shower beer while I'm in there.
Blessed post. A God walking amongst mere mortals typed this.
tpbp
very smart anon
so you "wash" your rice with the filthy run off water from washing yourself or you wash yourself with starchy rice water?
either way that's pretty nasty
>flushing valuable nutrients down the drain
>imagine being so poor you eat golden rice
ngmi
Golden rice is genetically modified to have more nutrients, OP is talking about the common practice of dusting white rice with nutrients as a means of fortification. This all wouldn't really be a problem if people ate more brown rice. Sprouting said rice before cooking would also help.
That rice is a Monsanto scam. The amounts of rice you have to eat to get any benefit is so much, yet they brag about helping people like one serving does anything all while they take control of your countries food supply.
In third-world Asian countries, I think it actually does make a difference. Most of the poor consume white rice as a large part of their diet. You can look at the history of disease such a diet can bring. I don't deny that this is negligible for any person who eats a less-than-extreme quantity of rice as their diet, though. I'm just proud of another beautifully capitalist invention.
Brown ricei s literal shit i eat rice a bunch and it sucks kys
SHUT THE FRICK UP 'waah muh water wayste'
Why do npcs only care about water waste here, and not baths vs showers, or literally anything else? have a nice day israelite OP
idk where you're from, but round these parts water falls from the sky. no such thing as "wasting" an infinite resource.
>fresh water is infinite because rain
what if you use more than falls from the sky, moron?
you cant
Of course you can, unless you live in some shitfrickland where rain never stops.
Then you wait.
>but people will die
So then there's less people who need water. Seems like a problem that'll fix itself, no matter what.
>Then you wait.
>crops die
Great job.
Euopre hasn't had a famine in a thousand years, I think we'll be alright.
Sucks to be you if you live in a shit hole tbh senpai.

from that article
>Strictly speaking, water that is discharged into the sewer, or directly to the environment is not wasted or lost. It remains within the hydrologic cycle and returns to the land surface and surface water bodies as precipitation.
>However, in many cases, the source of the water is at a significant distance from the return point and may be in a different catchment. The separation between extraction point and return point can represent significant environmental degradation in the watercourse and riparian strip. What is "wasted" is the community's supply of water that was captured, stored, transported and treated to drinking quality standards.
you cannot waste water no matter what mental gymnastics you try.
Have none of you lot heard of drought? Or gone outside once or twice and noticed that rivers don't constantly flow at the same rate? It's like you saw a poster about the water cycle in elementary school and your brains hit max fill. It takes months or years, not to mention the fact that the stuff that comes out of your tap is heavily processed. Fricking hell.
So? It's still part of a water cycle. You highs and lows. So what?
Explain to me exactly, step by step, how water used to was rice is "wasted". Pretty sure we don't launch it into the sun, so how is it wasted?
I have neither the crayons nor the patience.
I dunno bro I’m in the middle of a ten day typhoon in Hong Kong and most of Asia has had pretty heavy rainfall this year, maybe the water just left California because it hates everyone there. also it was never suited to have that many people and farms producing almonds and wine so maybe betting on water being eternal was your shitty mistake and you shouldn’t blame rice
They're trolling you bro. No one's that moronic.
>eco-soyboy angry I'm wasting water
Perfect, just the motivation I needed to was my rice few times more.
>wasting water
Right, because after we use water we just send it in rockets into the sun, hence it's never reusable, ever again.
have a nice day, please.
Look up china water crisis, most of their water is so polluted its unuseable, fricking moron
Sounds like their problem.
you know water and pollution doesn't stay in place right ? but i wouldn't expect high level of thinking from a board that simps for fast food and think water magically form itself out of the tap.
So you're saying we should nuke China?
I'm up for that (should've nuked them before covid like I kept saying tbh).
I support this, then they can also nuke you and you fricks can stop shitting up with pol. Beta cucks
>they can also nuke you
Fricking FRANCE has more nukes than China lmao.
So yeah, go ahead, I fricking DARE China to do it. Go on.
>china water crisis
morons like you love to believe in fake news.
How would they have water crisis, when they have access to gutter oil?
Why bother reusing material for adaptation, when the action itself cannot overcome crises?
Maybe they should stop polluting it, then.
Pretty sure it's not because of them washing rice...
So you don't know huh. Right.
I didn't waste it. I washed my rice in it.
valuable nutrients like arsenic?
STOP WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE AAAAAAAAAA
and I don’t want to be farting from the over amount of starch in it

You drink dirt water? Yuck.
>Not only are you flushing valuable nutrients down the drain
This is only true if you're buying poverty-tier enriched rice.
The rice you should be rinsing is higher end japanese rice and similar shit. Not low quality enriched rice (which has nutrients and shit added for 3rd worlders who can't afford a proper diet)
whats the specs on your high end gaming rice
Here you go, you can read the moon runes yourself.
>New crop
They been selling old shit until now?
>They been selling old shit until now?
Yes they often do, especially in the US
> The name ''new crop,'' refers to short grain rice that is milled and cooked within two months of its harvest. The taste of new crop short grain rice is cleaner and has a sweeter flavor. It also tends to be stickier because the rice grains have retained some moisture. The taste and texture of new crop rice is ideal when served alone.
> Old crop rice tends to be less sticky because it contains less moisture. It is ideal for dishes like fried rice or curry rice. Interestingly, most sushi restaurants in Japan use old crop rice because as it loses moisture it develops small hairline surface cracks which permit the vinegar to be absorbed better.
> Most rice in the United States is harvested and run over a high-heat drying table, a process that converts the kernels to mature, aged rice without any remaining new crop quality.
Your rice is precooked?
>high end gaming rice

Post your battlestation
I can't wait for my upgrade
20lb bag of enriched white rice Chad here
I rinse it because it cooks better that way. I get plenty of vitamins from my other food
I'll worry about the water I waste washing rice when the water company decides to maintain their pipe network well enough that it stops leaking literally a quarter of the total supply into the ground.
>YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER.
Not my problem
>YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER
Frick off, you Malthusian twat cyst
I stopped eating rice. Too many calories and isn't filling at all. It's a nice junk food occasionally like once a month maybe. Or if you're poor I guess it's cheap. But I view it as one step above buying shit like chips or soda.
You sound moronic
Waste? b***h I use the rice water rinse to rinse my own hair with. Shit's fricking luxurious.
But the smell. Do chinks follow you as you walk down the street?
>nutrients
The nutrients absorbed by our bodies from the starch of rice is negligible.
>wasting water
By putting it back into the cycle? homie there's no such thing as wasting water except when it comes to paying the bill. Besides that I use that starchy water to water my plants because I guess the starch is good for the soil.
Now some morons go hard on the other side of the fence here and will say you're poisoning yourself by not washing your rice. That's equally stupid. There's nothing harmful about rice starch.
At the end of the day washing your rice is just a preferential thing. I like mine fluffier with little stickiness so I wash the starch off. My dad likes his rice very sticky so when I cook for him I don't wash it at all.
And then some dishes use the starch. If you wash your rice for a risotto then you've just fricked up the whole risotto. It relies on that starch as a thickener.
How do I WASTE water if it was reclaimed, processed water to begin with and will get reprocessed?
rice water is good for the enviroment
>Not only are you flushing valuable nutrients down the drain, YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER
the nutrients are NOT in the dust on the rice and you cannot waste water.
do you actually think that water that goes down the drain is gone forever? are you that stupid?
How do you think that water gets back into potable form, genius. Do you think it just teleports back into your pipes?
by going down my drain
I can't imagine how someone ends up so benighted.
put down the thesaurus homosexual nobody is impressed
well cubby it goes in to the sewer system, then in to a sewer treatment plant where it is made clean and pure again.
it could be put right back in to the drinking water system but namby pamby snowflakes (like You) won't drink it. so they release it back in to the environment where it eventually gets back in to the city water supply.
BUT IT IS NOT AND NEVER CAN BE WASTED!
>valuable nutrients
>carbs

>chemically treated fluoride infused city water
what the frick are you talking about?
I never use gallons.
Mmmmmmmmm arsenic DDDdDdDdDd:
have fun shitting your gut lining from arsenic I guess?
I save the water and then use it to water my tomato and chilli plants, lots of great nutrients that help them to grow
I also piss on my rhubarb plants whenever my wife isn't home and you should see the size it grows to
based, waste nothing, the plants and soil bacteria and insects can handle pretty much anything organic
holy shit you too?
My rhubarbs went HUGE this year.
Is it weird to gift your extended friends and family rhubarb crumbles because you had such a bountiful crop this year, solely because you pissed on it?
I mean I washed it, and they all loved it, and it’s just chemistry that makes it so good and yet…
Seeing my wife’s publicist eat a big spoon of my piss rhubarb made me feel powerful and yet strangely morose
While I admire your peeing in other people food I am at a delema on you as a person making rhubarb
This homosexual at my work always brings everyone homemade jam for christmas. I usually leave it at my desk for janitors to take or throw it away in my cubicle immediately the frick do I want some unrequited food as a gift

No thanks, I'm not into bugpeople food and I don't have celiac.
Wheat, barley, or oat wholegrains for me.
You seem to be the racist, as is very common with your types. I simply don't give a shit about your fricking nations and don't want to visit them.
If you want to call me racist for disagreeing with you then you must have been shillary supporters since that's the best that they can do.
Are you still seething in your closets because Trump beat your annointed one?
Every time I come across this kind of thing, I picture this face and wash my rice ten times out of spite.
Gee lucky you, you don’t own your home. I wish I could be so lucky.
I cook rice with absorbtion method, I dont like when you end up with a plasticy film of starch on top that sticks all the rice together. So I wash it to avoid this.
I paid for the water, if I want to waste it, that's my prerogative
>'wAwTe wAwEr'
Ah yes because water is a finite resource and doesn't ever get recycled naturally and automatically
>BUT AH LIVE IN DA DESERT YEEHAW
Your problem moron
Still not wasting rice because it's a waste of time and does nothing
>rentoid
lmao ngmi
I just dont want arsenic in my food.
>Does not even address the main issue why people wash their rice
Yep, it's bait.
Yeah I´m thinking you´re way out of line here, my dad taught me how to cook rice and it requires perfect rinsing.
>"nooooo you cant just waste 3.5 gallons of water 3 times a week think of the environment!!"
>*wastes 3500 gallons of water every second for 6 hours every day for 3 months*
>wastes
thats growing crops
What a fricking moron. I am disgraced to be the same species as you. You filthy fricking dumb Black person frick you.
do you think the water that goes into your drain is just shot into space afterwards? it's cleaned and put back into the system.
the same water your Black person neighbour flushed their jerk chicken shit with, will be used to cook your fortified rice.

>YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER
Not a problem if you don't live in a desert shithole.
A single toilet flush uses about 5 to 7 gallons of potable water. Tell me why I should care about using like 2 liters of water to wash my rice
Most civilised places split their water supply between potable (taps and showers) and unpotable (toilet waste) and they go through different treatments, which is why you shouldn’t really drink toilet water
>Most civilised places split their water supply between potable (taps and showers) and unpotable (toilet waste) and they go through different treatments,
really? name those places.
Most places use fresh water because otherwise you waste more having to flush everything at least once a day or it starts to go bad and smell terrible
Realistically there's far more wasteful uses of fresh water than those, though, mostly in the US trying to grow lawns in deserts, and maintaining golf courses and shit. You can make small sacrifices all you want but you'll never even approach the impact of a millionaire or billionaire, and you're essentially a rounding error compared to some corporations and how they waste shit constantly. Like frick, supermarkets throw absolute tons of food away just to make room for new products, wasting tons of fresh water used to grow or make products. You not rinsing your rice isn't going to impact anything
a 5 gallon toilet hasn't been made in 40 years. I had one in my house but even it had a flush device that made it use half that water. which meant it didn't work well.
in my new house we have 3 low water usage toilets. 2 litre or 2 gallon per flush (I don't remember and don't care to look). but they clog easily and need 2 to be flushed more often.
Shut up Adam
Water is infinite and I don't want sticky rice.
I don't eat rice because it's high in arsenic and mechanization has made quinoa very affordable. I'd just as soon eat any millet, but it hasn't been memed enough that I can buy it in large bags for $2/lb
Try pearl barley.
I'd rather have it with the bran still on.
>I don't eat rice because it's high in arsenic
stop buying rice from areas with a lot of arsenic in the soil you dumb Black person homosexual.
literally as this thread was going this news hit
Acid rain tier nonsense
If this was true then every single outdoor crop in the world would be contaminated.
Kama...
>If this was true then every single outdoor crop in the world would be contaminated.
Yes.
Soil nutrient depletion is a far bigger problem.
>wasting water
My apartment has a separate water bill, apparently to lower the rent. It's a pain since the city only accepts cash or check, but it is a damned cheap place.
shut your fricking mouth you homosexual if you ever spent a second in a field in your life you would know that grains needs to be cleaned before use.
>every apartment I've lived at has the water bill included in the rent
That means you pay for water, they just assume average consumption lmao moron
I let my faucet drip in my bar on the other side of the house, the city keeps sending me letters as I'm using 5+ gallons a day but my cat likes to play in it from time to time as it goes down the drain
STOP EATING RICE, YOU FRICKING POORgay
I'm going to eat rice and teriyaki sauce for dinner now just for posting that
Tell that to my Asian gf who will not have her rice any way except washed
Same, my fiancé insists on it. She's not even from a poor family or anything. I don't really care one way or another so I just do it.
My rice cooker's lid was glued shut with maggots because my mom forgot to throw out the chicken and rice she made in it. It's completely fricked, with maggots crawling in the steam vents and shit.
it gets the rat shit out
These idiots saying it's impossible to waste water don't know shit. It's hard to do but you can still do it if you're willing to put in a little extra effort. Seal all your waste rice-washing water in plastic barrels and bury it in a pit lined with bentonite clay and I guarantee you that shit is never going to return to the water cycle.
I use the water from the toilet cistern though.
>cook a four course meal
>throw it straight in the trash
>feel satisfied knowing it's not wasted because it'll end up back in the food chain eventually
Sure is nice being smart.
I never washed rice
I never washed chicken
You're supposed to rise rice, and technically stir it it in hot water and rinse it again before cooking to remove most of the arsnic.
Alternatively you can just eat it and accept the arsnic. If you only have it once I a while it dosen't matter. But more than twice a week and you will want to rinse it to reduce your arsnic exposure.
Also rinsing it changes how it cooks and allows for different preparation styles. Lots of ways to cook rice stop being an uncultured idiot.
ah yes the valuable dust and weevil proteins
I don't live in California or some other place unfit for human life. There is plenty of water here.
I thought washing rice or not depended on whether you were making starchy dishes like risotto or side dishes like most asian rice.
The nutrients shit is for fricking third worlders bro.
>be you
>spend $1500-$4000 per month just to live in a small apartment
>YOU PAY FOR WATER??? LMAO!!!

water is so cheap that every day I take a shit in it and flush it away
>Not only are you flushing valuable nutrients down the drain
I don't need heavy metals and microplastic "nutrients".
>YOU ARE WASTING GALLONS OF DRINKABLE WATER.
How is that a problem?
>Some people wash their rice up to SEVEN TIMES.
I wash it until it's perfectly clear. It can take up to 20 times since I'm autistic about it.
20 times seems a lot, have you tried using warm water? I use it and I never have to rinse it more than 5 times, but then again I don't go for perfectly clear, just so that it won't turn into a mushy shitpile
Warm I mean, not boiling obviously. Boiling I don't think would ever get clear water since it'd start cooking it
You shouldn't be using warm water to rinse, it makes the rice absorb the water, which is not what you want.
You should be using cool water. But you also don't want to use freezing cold water either.
But if I'm cooking it the rice absorbs water anyway
Yes, but you want it to absorb CLEAN water, not the water you're using to rinse off the dust and dirt.
Fair enough, I mean it does run clear and I never noticed much difference, though I do use a rice cooker so maybe that's why. I guess I'm just being lazy
I'm using a $250 rice cooker.
Cool water to rinse, warm or room temp water to soak, and then rice cooker.
I always use cold water. It's kinda clear after about 10 times but I just keep going while waiting for the pot to start boiling.
why are you eating rice with plastic in it? are you chinese?
i wash my rice for about 30 minutes under cold running water then put it in the rice cooker. i suspect i might be washing it a bit much, how long should i wash my rice for? because it seems like no matter how much i wash it, more of those white particles come off, and only after about 30 minutes do you get basically none of them
Are you actually getting your hand in there and scrubbing the rice? It'll never get clear if you just run water through it.
Yeah our soil is fricking dead.
>It'll never get clear if you just run water through it.
This. You need to "massage it" and whisk it around with your hand and fingers.
yes i scrub the rice vigorously the entire time, agitating it constantly, stirring it with my hand etc
I just put it in a pot with a sieve on top to stop rice escaping and blast it under a raging tap
the water cooks the rice
Stop eating carbs. Problem solved.
Sorry. I lift.
>don't rinse the rice, guys! how else will you ingest the arsenic and goyslop that we painstakingly sprayed onto it?

stop being californian
shouldn't be eating grains anyway
you should be eating more poo, I recommend eating a fresh poo immediately
I use the filtered starch water to water my plants. I can recommend it, it really helps them grow.
