I found this article pretty interesting… it seems to contradict the current cooking zeitgeist
Don’t wash your rice for any kind of flavor reasons. Wash your rice because there might be bugs in it.

You don’t wash rice for cleanliness. You wash rice to remove excess starch.

It isn’t just about the arsenic or the quality.
Interesting. Though anybody literate in the scientific method knows that one study doesn’t mean much. Whether it’s placebo or not, I notice a difference in the finished product when I wash rice, so I will continue to do so.
