Is it a good idea to rinse out rice..?

before cooking? [[ I generally use 'Riceland Extra Long Grain Enriched Rice' ]]

My mother taught me to rinse it, before throwing it in the cooking pan to fry.

Is it advisable to do so?

there are arguements for both sides

wash it if you want to have it very white and lose some of the starchyness ( not as sticky when cooked)

or don't if you want to keep all nutrients
