isn't arsenic in rice trivial to deal with ("pasta" method)?

• zargon 1y ago
  I wouldn’t call it trivial, no. Pre-boiling it only removes about 50% of the arsenic. If you start with US rice from arsenic-poisoned soils, after boiling the rice you can still have more arsenic in it than rice that had lower levels to start with (even when cooked traditionally).

    One needs both to soak rice for at least 8 hours and boil it in excessive water to remove arsenic.
