In our daily life, after washing rice, we usually pour away the rice water without realizing that it has many amazing medicinal benefits. Next time, don't throw away the rice water!
1. Washing hands with rice water not only removes dirt but also moisturizes and smoothes the skin.
2. Using rice water to clean dishes not only has strong cleaning power but also is free of chemicals, surpassing dish detergents.
3. Before using a new sand pot, brush it with rice water several times and then boil rice soup in it for half an hour. After this treatment, the pot will not leak water.
4. Cutting boards that have been used for a long time may have a fishy odor. Soak them in rice water for a while and then scrub with salt to eliminate the odor.
5. Iron cooking utensils such as knives, spatulas, and spoons can be immersed in concentrated rice water to prevent rusting. If they have already rusted, soaking them in water for a few hours makes it easier to remove the rust stains.
6. If there are fishy-smelling vegetables, rubbing them with salted rice water and then rinsing them with clean water can remove the odor.
7. Sometimes, meat purchased from the market may be covered in dirt, which is difficult to wash off with tap water. By washing it twice with hot rice water, the dirt can be easily removed.
