I bought a bag of basmati imported from India, it smells awful when cooked
Is it supposed to smell and I'm just used to heavily processed rice?

Boba Tea Popular in JP Due to Youth having Weak Jaws

>"I often hear people tell me that the squishy yet chewy texture of tapioca pearls 'soothes' them," Ushikubo said. "In Japan, the number of young men and women with poor chewing ability, or weak jaws, has increased in recent years. Even when it comes to chewing gum, soft, squishy types are now more popular than the hard types we used to have."

>The 1980s saw an increase of Japanese children who developed a habit of not properly chewing their food. This led to a growing preference for softer foods, which food manufacturers catered to. The result was a generation accustomed to eating soft foods and neglecting strengthening their jaws through conscious chewing.
