Is uncooked rice bad when you find bugs in it?

Answer 1

The dry grain is hard to chew, swallowing a few raw should not be a problem, but once swallowed the grains will absorb moisture from your body and swell. The water absorbed, if in quantity could cause health problems. The swelling of rice in your stomach could cause problems. It would certainly have no, zero, advantages for your health.

Answer 2

A small amount of uncooked rice will do no harm at all if eaten raw, although it probably won't taste very nice. It will be a bit harder to digest than cooked rice- a large amount may give you a temporary stomachache. There is a myth that rice shouldn't be thrown at weddings because birds might eat them and die because of the rice expanding in the birds' stomachs; however, this myth is completely false.

If you find yourself craving uncooked rice, you may have pica disorder, which tends to be a symptom of other medical conditions, such as anemia.

Answer 3

No, but it can give you diarrhea (or, the bacteria Bacillus cereus that is often present in uncooked rice causes diarrhea) and the fact that it's uncooked can cause general digestive pain and discomfort.

Answer 4

Not if it is kept dry and in a cool dark place in a pest proof container, if it gets damp it will get moldy, and if pets get into it they will eat and spoil it.

Answer 5

If the packet was sealed, the yes. If you had it in a container, yes. If it is still on the paddy, no.

Answer 6

I think when you get to 1 cup, its pretty bad. It can effect the nerves in your brain.

Answer 7

no
