A member asked:
While cooking white rice, does removing the thick water that gets accumulated on top when its parboiled makes it less harmful for type 2 diabetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Washing off the sticky starch after cooking decreases some of the carbohydrate load, but rice is still high in carbs. Brown rice is still a better choice than white rice.
