After rice is cooked in water, you're left with a bowl full of foul tasting white water. Rice contains starch, which gives the rice water its opaque, white color. These starches are beneficial to plants, encouraging healthy bacteria that grow in the roots. Rice also includes nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, trace amounts of which are found in rice water.
