White rice is very bad for you body - it's 'empty calories', similar to eating white flour.
ReplyDeleteJapan has a huge problem with malnourishment through the widespread notion that white rice is good for one's health.
If one must eat rice, it should definitely be full-grain rice. But it's best to eat very very little grains (which rice is) at all.
Well, apart from the discussion whether and which rise is healthy, it is the base of most meals in Japan, so I guess knowing how to cook it (without buying the rice cooker) is a handy skill ;) I must admit that I haven’t even tried to find other types of rice while there, but I’m sure there are alternatives.
