A lot of rice sold (most?) is “enriched” so the vitamins and minerals are added back. But the fiber is gone and rinsing the rice washes away the nutrient powder.
Why do people wash rice? Never really bothered with it. 2:1 usually works pretty nicely, get the water boiling add the rice and put it on low. Come back when ready.
Or like 4-5 to 1 with milk and have it as rice pudding/porridge.
Any particular type of beans? Red? Black? Lentils?
Does the type of rice matter?
I’m intrigued by this possibility.
Yes; make sure it’s whole grain. White rice is essentially junk food, with most of its fiber, vitamins & minerals stripped in the de-hulling process.
I have a sack of white rice to eat through… I don’t really know what to do with it all. My partner got it from work. Would rather basmati rice really.

Washing rice makes the final texture better. Unwashed rice has a coating of starch that causes the grains to stick together in a gooey mess.
