First: Spaniards like to keep their food original.
In fact, for the Spanish, the best way to treat a good food is to keep the taste of the food itself, so the Spanish will not spend too much time cooking and try to keep the original flavor of the food. It is because the cooking time is not long enough that rice is generally raw, but this kind of rice can enjoy the original flavor and toughness, which is more attractive than the glutinous rice cooked in China.
Second: Spaniards like to eat Spanish seafood risotto. The cooking time of seafood is very short, and the rice is raw.
In fact, Spaniards like to eat half-cooked rice, which is also related to their habits. The most famous local food is Spanish seafood risotto. When cooking Spanish seafood risotto, the main ingredient is seafood, but seafood can't be stewed for a long time if it wants to maintain its flavor, and it is easy to cook, so it is usually enough to dry the soup when cooking.
But everyone who has cooked at home knows that even if it is cooked quickly in a pressure cooker, it will take at least 17 minutes, but this pot of seafood can't wait 17 minutes, so the rice is basically half cooked when it comes out. But because the Spanish have been eating like this since childhood, they are used to it. Just like China people used to eat glutinous rice, they are not used to eating loose Indian hand-grabbed rice or half-baked Spanish risotto now. So it's not the other person's strange habits, but everyone's eating habits are different.
Third: Half-cooked rice is good for digestion.
People like China like to eat soft glutinous rice, but this kind of rice is easy to digest and absorb, so it will cause a rapid increase in blood sugar in a short time. However, the starch content of half-cooked rice is not high, so the digestion speed will be slower and the sugar content will be slower, which is more conducive to digestion and a healthier eating habit.
