Why shouldn't you add salt to rice when cooking it?

You definitely should, it's bland af without

You can if you want but using stock instead has a much better outcome.
Most things you eat with rice are already pretty damn salty.

Ohhh husbant, you added salt to rice! Now our rice cooker is ruined and you have high blood pressure. Rice tastes fine without salt!

[Anonymous No.19118940]

the only real reason is because the rice should be plain so it balances out with the sides instead of overpowering them.
imo it's complete bullshit to not want the rice as good as possible and if you fucked up and made the sides too salty or spicy that's your own fucking fault

I've always found it results in rice with a tough core.
You don't get tender rice, you get rice with a tender outside, but a tough core.

How many times have you tested this? Please post at least 2 peer reviewed articles backing up your claim.

[Anonymous No.19119116]

>>19118877
in rice eating cultures you season the things you eat with rice to a higher level of salt so everything is balanced.

NTA but I actually did test this. If anything, it's the opposite. When I salted the water, the rice turned out a bit less firm, enough of a difference that it was noticeable.
idk wtf rice she's using, but I tested this with medium grain Caribbean rice (my usual go-to) and with SEA long grain rice. Both resulted in softer grains.

you should, it gives the rice a better texture.

It changes the texture slightly and reduces the surface gelatinisation that makes the rice slightly tacky, allowing it to form clumps. Same thing happens with pasta, though you want the opposite there, if you don't salt the water it all sticks together. If you want loose grains like basmati, adding salt is fine.
