According to this, yes.

(I have never in my life rinsed rice of any kind.)

you’re supposed to wash rice? i was probably told to do this, but I don’t think i ever did. also, i can’t cook rice without a rice cooker and i prefer rice on the mushy side, so my turn to make rice never came up that often.

Haha, I was taught to wash rice. Not a lot, just a couple rinses. 

You wash rice heavily only if you have like weevils in them. But if you don’t have a weevil problem, washing isn’t a big deal. (My dad tells me that it’s not necessary at all… just some people have an issue with perceived impurities when the rice water looks cloudy.) 

I thought you wash rice to get rid of excess starch. I mean isn’t that why rice water looks cloudy? Anyone else soak rice before cooking?

I don’t wash any rice intensely before I cook it but I do rinse it a little bit… soak it some… watevas
