[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on the kind of rice.
My mom always cooked US long grain rice for casseroles, etc.  She never rinsed it, not ever.

I lived in Japan for a few years and learned about the necessity of washing the rice.  At first I thought "what??" but it made sense because all of the starch and dust from processing.  American long grain rice tends to not have that. 
Now I am married to a Japan native and always wash the short grain rice until it runs pretty clear.  I usually give other rice a rinse too, but sometimes feel silly because I don't feel like I'm actually removing anything, especially with brown rice.

OP, doesn't [b]Jasmine rice always have a funky smell?  Or maybe it doesn't only if it's super fresh[/b]?  I do not buy Jasmine for this reason, on the occasions I have bought this I always notice a smell I don't like.  Brown basmati, on the other hand, always fills my house with a wonderful smell.

The best rice is always AGED.  The concept of super fresh rice having better taste or smell is not true.[/quote]
