Never Eat Them Cold: Why Only a Few Know That Rice and Pasta Must Be Reheated
Rice and pasta are among the favorite side dishes among Russians.
Moreover, they often cook so much of it for dinner that there is left over for the next day.
Culinary expert of TUT NOVOSTI, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you why these dishes should always be reheated before eating.
Why rice and pasta shouldn't be eaten cold
It is believed that if you eat rice and pasta cold, you can lose weight.
Indeed, the products are digested much longer this way, prolonging the feeling of satiety.
However, food standards experts warn of the dangers posed by such food.
For example, raw rice contains cells that have the ability to reproduce themselves. Moreover, they do not die even when the side dish is reheated.
Therefore, it is safest to cook rice and pasta for one meal. If this is not possible, then the finished dish should be cooled as quickly as possible, placed in the refrigerator and reheated no more than once.
