Conclusively, rinsing rice prior to cooking or not depends on what you want out of your rice but I do it because I cannot distinguish between a dust that comes as a result of fortification and that which is there as a result of dirt.
The dilemma this however poses is, how do we know if the dust id due to fortification or dirt?

So tell us, do you was your rice before cooking it?
I’d say if your rice is a GM rice, wherein the nutrients enriched in it had been done genetically, then washing or parboiling it won’t take out the nutrients but if its the kind of enrichment that’s done by coating the rice with vitamins, then you are certainly washing off the nutrients if you wash.
However, if you bought your rice in an open market where the bag of rice had been open by the seller and some portion was sold to you, then I suggest you wash and enrich it by eating your rice with vegetables and other nutrients sources

Thanks for the information. i always wash my rice because of the dust

I wash dirty rice before cooking, but cook clean ones with out washing. “Jasmin” rice looks clean and does not need to be washed before cooking
I prefer unwashed Rich because it has Taste and smells well here in Uganda. Therefore i think for hygienic purposes i think the farmers should harvest the rich clean for some of us to keep enjoying.
It is very interesting explaination of the rice uses, but as a person I have question,#
how would people know the differences of the rice from other parts of the country that contain nutrients which is not to be wash and the rice
that has talc which you mentioned as it makes rice whiter and it is supposed to be wash away?, #because a buyer can just go and buy rice without knowing whether it is a rice that has nutrient or rice that have talc and if the cook wash it then it might be a rice contain nutrient and if not wash then it could be the rice that contain talc , #as an experts what do you think could makes differences?
