eli5: How do “instant” versions of foods (instant oatmeal, coffee, rice, etc.) exist? Why are they not the standard since they’re so efficient?
In: 11
Ok think about an instant coffee Vs a coffee from ground beans. That should answer your question quick enough!
Might be convenient having quick ways of doing stuff but it may not taste as nice.
Rice is also very complicated! Rice needs to obsorb flavours whilst it cooks so instant rice would be no good. Also different methods of cooking produce different results or sticky rice, risotto etc.
