When cooking rice, there are many concerns you might have, like wanting to make it soft and fluffy, keeping grains separate and making sure all the rice cooks evenly. There is, however, one more thing that is important – cooking it in the healthiest way possible.
As rice is usually cooked in metal/ceramic pots, there are many ways it renders unhealthy. First of all, metals are reactive at cooking temperatures, leach into food and contaminate it. These metal ions — toxins from food accumulate in organs and blood to cause serious health problems over time.
Secondly, their heat is damaging to the delicate nutrients in food. Rice and other grains are made of simple carbs, complex carbs, vitamins and minerals, the more potent the nutrients the more delicate and subject to damage they are. So, the complex carbs, and vitamins and mineral barely survive the ordeal. No wonder diabetes is a pandemic of this era. When the body is provided a depleted diet with an excess of simple carbs, it leads to the mismanagement of the insulin hormone leading to diabetes.
Lastly, heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature is high at the bottom, so the rice needs to be stirred constantly. All these factors make cooking rice complex and unhealthy.
