/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Less unhealthy than pasta or corn per pound. It's literally just starch and fiber.

>>15683444
but what about the arsenic? Is it a real danger or just shills?

>>15683434
Don't Nips eat rice like every meal and have the highest average lifespan on earth?

>>15683434
Can we turn this into a "What do you throw into plain rice for a thrill" thread? I make fried rice with leftovers, ans sometimes when i dont have any compatible meats I just wanna make rice, but can't think of anything to put into it to make it more meal -like.

>>15683487
Fried egg or two with loose yolk. Kimchi and pour some juice in. Sprinkle with furikake and enjoy

>>15683455
I would guess the fish make up for any ill effects of the sodium and carbs they eat

>>15683434
Cereal grains are part of God's sense of humor.
Grasses are like the most abundant biomass of any organism. The fact we can eat them is truly a blessing.
Don't pollute that with racism, anon. If you have to be that way, eat wheat or barley then.

>>15683545
Genuinely based.

>>15683487
I can smell you from here, janny

>>15683553
I think you have a mistaken idea of what is, and is not coming at you.

the only thing you need to consume every day is water

Make sure to wash the bugs out of it before you cook it.

>>15683616
you will eat the bugs!!!!

American rice has the arsenic problem. Asian rices are normally fine

>>15683434
I've been eating it most every day recently. Got a big bag of this stuff from walmart for like 15 bucks. I'm pretty lean and do weight training so I don't have to worry about gaining weight. I figure it's pretty innocuous, not super healthy or unhealthy, just good for calories. Also pretty versatile. I like to make a stir fry with it one day and then in the morning use the left over rice to make a indian poja inspired breakfast rice

>>15683434
it's just carbs

eat buckwheat and bulgur wheat instead

>>15683434
Rice is very healthy and a solid base for every meal.

>hurr durr is POIZON!!!1
Americans are 80% overweight or obese. Asians are <5%. They eat all the rice they want. Carb the fuck up fatties

>>15683449
Chinese rice has the arsenic problem. American rices are normally fine

>>15683434
it feeds 80% of the world or some shit like that so it cant be that bad. but if you want to be healthier eat brown rice

>>15684068
>American rices are normally fine
Not true. Anything grown in the south is contaminated, as genius mutts used to use arsenic as a pesticide for their cotton.

The best rice comes from Thailand or California, where mutts didn't get the chance to poison their own food supplies

>>15683434
>is rice healthy
Rice contains arsenic and is highly constipating, which is unhealthy and can cause bowel cancer.
Wheat is superior to rice in every way. Eat some bread, ditch the rice, man.

>Asian cultures consume rice on a daily basis
>Low rates of obesity and relatively long life spans
Yeah I doubt rice is a killer. I’m sure rice with your meals instead of processed supermarket brand breads or pastas is far less damaging.

>>15684146
>Rice contains arsenic and is highly constipating, which is unhealthy and can cause bowel cancer.
White rice nigger. Brown rice is the opposite. Or even better, God-tier wild rice or black rice.

>Wheat is superior

>>15684146
I'll eat both, thanks

>>15683434
They say white rice spikes your blood sugar, as someone with sleeping issue because of hunger. It satiates me enough for about 13 hours from dinner to waking up the next day. Pretty good.

>>15684290
>They say white rice spikes your blood sugar
that's a good thing.

>>15683487
onion, garlic, mixed veggies, 2 eggs, soy sauce
wala

>>15684068
>>15683843

>>15684294
It's only a good thing when your blood sugar is very low, even then having a more stable meal would be better as you're preventing a energy crash.

>>15684426
spiking blood sugar quickly boost satiety, reducing the amount you eat.
blood sugar crash is untrue. a big meal of starch takes many hours to digest, which will provide lots of energy for a sustained period of time. my last meal is before noon. sometimes I'll eat 400g of toast. I'll be satisfied until breakfast the next morning.

>>15683449
Rinse your rice thrice, pre-soak it for 2-3 hours, rinse again, boil, rinse again, steam. That's my routine, and you can be damn sure the majority of the already insignificant arsenic content is gone by the time I eat it.

>>15684853
>not sprouting your rice
cringe and lectin-pilled

>>15683616
I've eaten these before. They aren't particularly tasty tb h.

>>15684853
You might as well eat styrofoam peanuts. There is nothing of value left in your rice.

>>15684290
That seems to be true if you're eating nothing but white rice, but eating it with oil/meat/vegetables/etc. lowers the impact of that. But overall white rice is still a bit less nutritious, and I think it's a bit less tasty. The outer bran with brown rice contains some flavorful compounds and I like the texture more than white rice.

>>15683487
my go to is frying an egg or two and making some gochujang dipping sauce to go with it. soy sauce, gochujang, toasted sesame oil, honey crushed garlic and some gochugaru.

>>15684853
Oh fuck off. You're the type that walks around in public in a hazmat suit.

>>15685224
I do like how loose brown rioce grains come out.
Probably a lot better for yoghurt too.

>>15683434
The only thing you should eat every day is pusy

>>15685205
>>15685308
lmao that's how you make proper basmati rice. Let me guess, Americans?
>wash 2-3 times
>pre-soak 2-3 hours
>drain
>dump into plenty of salted boiling water for 5-7 minutes
>drain
>put pot on low heat
>put some oil at the bottom (or yoghurt, oil, and saffron mix if you know what you're doing)
>dump the drained rice on top
>cover with a loose fitting lid (or a cloth with the lid on top of that cloth holding it in place, even better)
>steam like that for 10 minutes
I do wonder how you make your basmati, but I assume the answer is "put the bag in the boiling water for 5 minutes".

>>15683533
Eating nothing but rice and fish is a fucking shit idea though.
The instant Japan moved away from a rice and fish based diet their average height went up by like a foot over the course of a single generation

>>15685689
not OP, but I don't think people were talking about basmati rice.

>>15685706
No, the instant they had the diet of a developed, fully industrialized country their height went up.
That happened in every Western country too you know, and they never had a rice based diet.
You're now going to post "W-well westerners are taller because of wheat!" No, they're taller because of genetics. Any discrepancy in height between developed countries is genetic, not dietary.

>>15684083
This

Califag here, most rice in cali is medium grain, but they still grown some of that in the south. Their main is long grain down there.

>>15685723
Well if you're talking Jasmin you really shouldn't worry, I'm pretty sure Jasmin is the rice with the least arsenic of all.

>>15685689
I rarely even wash my rice to begin with, what kind of third world shithole do you live in with rice so dangerous you need to take 50 extra steps?

>>15685689
Im sorry but i had no idea you were retarded. I wont pick on you anymore.

>>15683434
>white rice
Trash.
Eat whole grain!

>>15684853
damn I forgot you can just wash off the heavy metals

>>15683444
Only brown rice has fiber noob

>pure carbs
gross

>>15685728
No it literally is dietary. Japan noticed a surge in growth of female breasts and height after introducing higher amounts of dairy in people's diets despite already being a developed country by that point

The Dutch used to be the shortest ethnic group in europe 200 years ago but diet changed all of that

>>15686342

Milk is for babies - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vegan

>>15686359
Arnold was notorious for purposely giving bad advice to others so they would never reach his level

>>15686377
So that's why he told them to eat meat when he was really vegan

>>15683487
tuna salad

>>15684290
>Sleeping issues due to hunger
Are you a newborn child?

>>15685747
I think it's done that way just so the rice won't stick, not because it's dangerous without doing that.

>>15686359
People who don't like milk or are lactose intolerant always try to come up with a reason like that as to why it's inherently wrong for an adult to be drinking it. It's for babies, it's for calves, it's unnatural because we're the only animals that do it, etc. They can't just say "I don't like it" or "I can't have it", it has to be wrong for everyone.

>>15685706
No, because we started eating other foods in addition to rice and fish.
In Japan, the diet is still based on rice.
Why?
Because it is cheap and of high quality.

>>15685706
I think that's more about getting enough calories. Even if you eat the best quality foods, if you aren't getting enough calories you're not going to hit your maximum height. Although supposedly in recent years average Japanese height is declining, maybe because of an increased intake of processed foods.

>>15684853
This is the best way to make rice anyway, I don't even give a fuck about arsenic.

Please don't eat jew rice oh my god anon...

>>15685747
Not him but do I even want to know what horrid sticky goopy mess of a rice you eat?
>what kind of third world shithole do you live in
Whatever it is, it is better than your flyover shithole.

>>15689355
>horrid sticky goopy mess of a rice
Based retard who has never eaten rice in a western country.

>>15687402
They did studies finding pasterized milk actually leaches calcium from the bones to combat it's acid-forming properties, to maintain a proper blood pH.

Milk is bad unless you're getting it straight from the cow.

>>15689400
You're supposed to wash rice to get rid of some of the excess starch and lectins. Enzyme inhibitors.

The stickiness is because you've overcooked it. Or it's short-grain sticky rice

>>15689728
My rice doesn't come out as sticky, retard.

>>15689877
>My rice doesn't come out as sticky, retard.
What is it with you people getting so buttblasted over the smallest things?

>>15689949
IDK who you're quoting that's not me. I'm simply saying if your rice is sticky you overcooked it.

Don't know why that launched you into a tirade

Is that because your rice is too sticky and inedible?
