Just as every fast has some or the other rules, in the same way there are some strict rules for the Ekadashi fast as well, out of which the strictest rule is that the fasting should not eat rice or any substance made of rice from the tenth day before the Ekadashi date. But on the next day on Dwadashi, eating rice after breaking the fast is considered very virtuous.
