As you may already know rice contains alot of Arsenic. How much depends on the brand and what country (or parts of US) it comes from. What is recommended for weekly consumption are likely what most of us eat in a day. I don’t want to bore or scare you with statistics so instead here are a couple of ways that help remove a good portion of the arsenic from your rice.!
Method #1
Method #2
You can also cook rice in a way that will remove some of the arsenic. While the modern technique of cooking rice in a limited amount water helps retain the most nutrition from the grain, it also retains the arsenic. Boiling the rice in a 6:1 water-to-rice ratio (sort of how you’d cook pasta), draining the excess water once cooked, has been shown to remove up to 60 percent of arsenic levels in rice. Rinsing before you cook can also reduce arsenic levels, but the effect is minimal.
