    There are better choices. White rice is high in processed carbohydrates and not much else. It's very low in fiber. Chose brown rice instead, which is a whole grain, higher in fiber and vitamins.

    great way to use old rice. I disagree with other reviewer who say old rice is bad for health. Its an old Indian myth from days which had no refrigerator. There is no such medical proof that rice,vegetable,meat,daal etc kept in fridge for few days thats not gone bad(smells and taste fresh) is "unhealthy".

    Leftover rice always doesnt mean day's old. Anything made in the aftnoon can be used in to prepare the dish as an evening snack.

    using leftover rice not very good for health, freshly cooked may be used. tastes fine
