[00:00:00]Did you know refrigerated rice changes scientifically? Refrigerating cooked rice cause starch retrogradation, where cooling causes starch molecules to reorganize from a gel-like state to a [music] rigid crystalline structure.

[00:00:12]This transformation converts digestible starch into resistant starch, [music] which behaves more like dietary fiber.

[00:00:19]Cold rice becomes firmer [music] and less sticky, making it ideal for fried rice.

[00:00:24]The resistant starch formed by cooling process is largely [music] stable, meaning it remains beneficial even after the rice is reheated.
