**No**, pearl rice can be eaten. But pearl rice is different from ordinary rice. Its taste and nutritional value are higher. However, since pearl rice contains high starch, if consumed in large amounts for a long time, it may increase blood sugar levels, so diabetics should control their consumption. In addition, pearl rice that has been left for too long is easy to deteriorate and will affect your health after eating, so you should pay attention to its storage.

In short, pearl rice is a nutritious food. Eating it in moderation can nourish the body, but you need to pay attention to eating it in moderation to avoid eating spoiled pearl rice.
