### Why Washing Rice is Important

Washing rice removes excess surface starch, which can cause rice to become gummy or clump together when cooked. It also helps to remove any impurities, debris, or residues left over from processing. For specific types of rice, such as jasmine or basmati, washing enhances the flavor and texture by allowing the grains to cook more evenly.

### How to Wash Rice Properly

Follow these simple steps to wash rice:

#### 1. **Measure Your Rice**
– Use the desired amount of rice, keeping in mind that one cup of uncooked rice generally yields about three cups of cooked rice.

#### 2. **Rinse Thoroughly**
– Place the rice in a large bowl or directly in your cooking pot.
– Cover the rice with cold water, and gently swirl it with your hands.
– Pour out the cloudy water and repeat the process 3–5 times, or until the water runs mostly clear.

3. **Drain the Rice**
– Use a fine-mesh sieve to ensure all excess water is removed before cooking.
