Does soaking rice overnight before cooking reduce the nutritional value of rice?

[@JudiintheKitchen]

That's an excellent question! I just did a little research on your behalf. In the Sept 2013 issue of the journal Food Science and Technology, researchers tested the nutrient content of soaked rice. They answered your question. YES, soaking rice (in an acidic solution) does reduce the mineral content of brown rice, including phosphorus, iron, zinc, and protein content as well. So, even though soaking does reduce the phytate in rice, AND makes the nutrients in the rice more digestible, it also reduces some valuable nutrients as well. They concluded by suggesting that brown rice should not be soaked in an acidic solution before being cooked. So unfortunately, it's a real trade-off as to whether to soak rice or not like that. They did not address soaking it without an acid medium, which may not reduce the phytates. I realize this may not be the answer you wanted to hear, but it's what the research project encountered. I hope this helps in some way. Thanks for watching and asking :)

@@JudiintheKitchen Does that mean that it is not appropriate to soak rice and cook it?

[@JudiintheKitchen]

@@Shanilkadinelshan No, it doesn't mean that. It means that you have your choice to soak the rice or not soak it. Not soaking keeps the minerals along with the phytates, meaning the phytates will reduce the absorption of nutrients to some degree. Soaking means you reduce the phytates along with some nutrients, while at the same time increasing the absorption of what nutrients are left. It's a "catch 22" situation, with no great option. So the choice is yours. I can't say which is best because neither option is great. So sorry!
