Arsenic contamination is a serious concern. Brown rice contains higher amounts of arsenic than white rice. The following tips should help reduce the arsenic content of your rice:1. Use plenty of water when cooking.
2. Wash the rice well before cooking. This method may remove 10–28% of the arsenic.
If you eat large amounts of rice, the white variety may be a better choice. But if it is consumed occassionally, the above method can be used as precautions.
