Rice has always been on the table at all Arab and international tables, but people are always worried about the high number of calories and the causes of obesity.
Researchers in Sri Lanka believe they have found a new way to cook rice that will reduce calories by as much as 50 percent and provide some other important health benefits.
The researchers explained that the trick they relied on is to add coconut oil to boiling water before adding rice grains, and that a teaspoon of oil is enough for every half cup of rice.
The researchers suggested that rice should be left cool in the refrigerator for 12 hours after cooking, then heated in the microwave when the person is ready to eat.
The addition of coconut oil and cooling of rice before consumption, he said, saves his grains from half the calories, compared with traditional rice cooked, Business Insider reported on Saturday.
Researchers are now seeking to replicate the experience with other starchy foods such as natural bread to see if the result itself can occur or not.
Many people put their lives at risk because of the way rice is cooked, which is indispensable in almost any home, but some scientists have found that adding more water to the pot while cooking rice or soaking it in water before cooking overnight is the best way to get rid of Arsenic poisons in it.
According to the British newspaper Telegraph, rice is exposed to chemical contamination due to toxins and pesticides that can remain in the soil for decades.
According to scientific experiments, the way rice is cooked can be to reduce exposure to this deadly toxin.
