I wonder how different the rice tastes from traditionally grown rice. Do I still need to use as much salt in the boiling process?

- yunohn 5y agoWhat do you use your rice for? In my experience, you almost never need to salt rice while boiling.
- foxyv 5y agoI do not salt my rice either. I like the difference in salt/spice/sweet between the curry or sauce and the starchiness of the rice. When I salt the rice it tastes so uniform it may as well be blended together.
- samstave 5y agoI rarely put salt in my rice, but sometimes when i make it in the pressure cooker (instant pot) Ill add butter, garlic and salt in small amounts to the rice. Sometimes ill cook the rice in broth rather than water as well. When I do add salt though, i use really coarse Himalayan rock salt (also note, this salt does not have iodine, FYI.
- krasotkin 5y agoWhen I was a university student, I taught a lot of my friends how to cook simple things. I made pasta for my roommates and taught them how to make it themselves. One roommate was getting the hang of things, and would assist me. He went to start rice, and made the rather fair assumption that it'd be just like making pasta, so he salted the water a similar amount. When the water had cooked off, it was some very salty rice we had.

- yunohn 5y agoSure, salt as seasoning. My question was more around the usecase for "seasoned" rice.
