Question

Rita wanted the black dal many times before cooking.her mother told her that pulses and grains should be washed only 2-3 times. What do you think happens when pulses and grains are washed too many times?

Answer 1

Things happen when pulses and grains are washed too many times

Explanation:

• On repeated washing, Rita is unknowingly removing or washing off most of the essential nutrients (nutrients which are not synthesized by humans and must be obtained from the diet) present in the dal that are neccesary for human growth and their metabolic activities.
• The sole purpose of washing dal or pulses is to remove unwanted impurities and other substances like chemicals, dust, etc., that adhere on its surface during its down processing steps like transportation. But by repeated washing, one can easily remove essential nutrients present on it that may result in decreasing its nutrient value.
• Also, water-soluble vitamins (Vitamin-B and Vitamin-C)  are the ones that got easily washed off by frequent washing.
