That is why it is good to soak your rice for 12 to 24 hours before cooking, it leaches the arsenic out. Rice naturally pulls arsenic out of the soil, and while you will not give yourself madness induced arsenic poisoning from rice, it is still a good idea to keep that toxin load off your body.

Rinse several times. Soak. Rinse again. Cook and eat. It tastes better too. You will need less water for the boil.
This is fantastic information. I do not eat any form of carbs for decades now but I will pass this on. In ancient times they kneaded bread, let it rise and kneaded it again at least three times.....that is one reason no one got sick from wheat....today even the best organic breads are made on an assembly line like fast foods so the wheat or grain is a contributory factor in stressing the body which of course creates disease.....but thank you so much for this information....
Bread grains i soak for 12 hours to 24 in buttermilk before baking.
That is so smart……..I really honor your knowledge…..thank you….
Good advice!
There's no info on any package or book on why rice must be soaked and rinsed prior to cooking. How are casual cooks supposed to know these things? How many people take short cuts because they're not aware?
Bingo bango you get it!
