Put the Rice Water After Washing to Good Use

posted in Handy Tips |

As rice is our staple diet, we cook rice every day.  Most of us pour the water away without thinking.  Do you know that you can recycle the rice water?

Use the rice water to soak fruits and vegetables. The rice water can effectively remove the chemicals in fruits and vegetables. After soaking the vegetables for at least half an hour, you can then rinse them in clean water before cooking or eating.

If the fruits and vegetables are to be eaten raw, extra care must be taken to wash them clean and rinse them in filtered water, befor chopping or cutting into cubes. Then they should not be washed or soaked again as vitamin c would be destroyed.
