Wow! What a great, rewarding way to fight laziness! Thank you!

Thank you, this is indeed very helpful.

Thank you for this well-presented video on clean-cooked brown rice. Very useful.

So good to learn from you how to cook rice for optimum health. I'll be doing it.

Thank you so much! Very helpful video :)

I'm Asian and been eating rice for 40 years now. We wash the rice 2-3 times with 2 hands, rubbing against each other. Never had cancer from it.

Great video!

Very nice,thanks.

Well articulated I feel healthier all ready, thank you.

Thanks for the video! For last step, I'll try drying it in a wok, see if it can be done fast. I don't eat oil, but for those that do, it would be much pretty fast to fry it.

To remove the arsenic, use a coffee pot, putting the dry rice where the coffee grounds would go. Run the water through as if you are making a full pot of coffee, and throw that water out and rinse out the glass coffee pot before refilling with water, and run it through the coffee pot again. If it's a regular size coffee pot most people have in their kitchens, you will have to do this SEVEN times. The better option is using one of those large metal coffee pots that make coffee for a crowd, you only have to run the water through one time, but you do have to fill up the water reservoir in the coffee pot. The downside is those coffee pots can be pricey. Make sure and rinse and wash the coffee pot when you are finished. A lot of people are making the mistake of thinking they can wash and "cook the arsenic out". That will only cook the arsenic INTO the rice. Labs have been working on this a while now and figuring out how a family with normal kitchen things can safely remove the arsenic. What they came up with and it certainly tested clear, was -- coffee pots. The down side, is that it takes a while to do this if you are doing a lot of rice that you want to put in food storage. But, it's sure worth the effort. Another thing, find out if your water contains arsenic and if it does, you will need a water filter to remove it. All that arsenic will end up at the sewage treatment plant and I have no idea where it goes from there, but do not for any reason pour that water on your plants or yard. It will contaminate everything, even the soil. Thank you for your video and your concern for everyone's health. It matters.

Thank you Judi, red beans with brown rice has been my primary source of protein & carbs for over 10 years. Now I'm going to revise my cooking methods. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions since I like to cook the beans and rice together & use lots of herbs and spices.

Thanks for this video. I will try this for sure. 😆

Interesting! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you 👌

Thank You : )

thanks!

also soaking the rice over night especially brown rice as it takes longer to cook it has to soak in water over night to speed up cooking process it also helps further in the removal of arsenic as well as rinsing for the removal of arsenic

I always cold water wash my rice before I cook it.. It releases some of the starch.

Have you ever done this in an instant pot? If so, how long is it cooked for? Thanks for your video!

This is interesting. The same method is used in Mexican and East Indian recipes prior to cooking. The Mexican cooks even rub the grains with their hands after soaking. It changes the whole mouth feel of the rice. My question is, is the arsenic ON the rice or IN it?

Hi, where can we buy that stainer ?

This is fine for removing surface residue and any surface arsenic but the rice plant is very adept at leaching arsenic along with other heavy metal from the soil. These metals are IN the plant not on the surface. In fact the rice plant is used for soil remediation to remove toxic metals of which then the plant is supposed to be discarded.

Thank you for the video. I also wanted to mention that the Lundberg brand makes rice with minimum of arsenics. Check out nutritionfacts.org on arsenic in rice.

It is much more difficult to remove much of the AS from brown rice. I no longer eat it and use only rice from outside the US but do cook it much as you describe. One difference for me is that I partially cook it in the last clear water change, replace that cloudy water with fresh to complete the cooking. Reaching the AS inside the grain is the goal.

How about quick cooking brown rice? Does instant brown rice have less arsenic and is there any need to soak quick cooking brown rice brands. Thank you

Judi, I have tried cooking brown rice by the same method as you describe, but the result is not the good tasting brown rice I used to enjoy. It is more like a mashed potato, to me. To make it taste good, I think I should have to add olive oil and seasoning (salt, onion and/or garlic powder). It will then taste more like a mashed potato. Why go to all that trouble? I am happier with the potato. To buy basmati rice from California, I have to go to a specialty grocery and pay 20 cents an ounce for it. No more rice for me. Baked potatoes and/or whole grain pasta.

That's how I cook rice, apart from the hot water rinse. Running hot water through your faucet leeches lead from the pipes. You may actually be adding a significant amount of one neurotoxin to your diet in order to remove a small amount of another!

I do not cook the rice for the full 30 minutes; maybe for 25 - enough to get the most arsenic out of it but not to soften it so that it will be mushy. I like the dry, cooked rice that one gets in a rice cooker by allowing the water to be absorbed and steamed away. I think the steaming it away after simmering it in a large volume of water removes most of the arsenic that can be removed.

Hope the water's filtrated?

So I've been cooking brown rice for years. Just recently been starting to feel a little sick after eating it. I usually eat it with other foods and was wondering what could be the cause or me feeling sick. I don't usually rinse my rice...

Can this way also reduce the many nutrients from the rice?

How to remove phytic acid? Even if it's white rice, is it possible?

Are you sure it gets rid of the arsenic? What if it's in the kernel itself? Also aren't a lot of minerals and vitamins washed out during this process? The FDA should ban rice grown in arsenic laden areas.

I don't wash rice, the white jasmine rice. I always make rice in microwave. I hope the microwave is killing all the the bad thing. So should start washing whether it's white, brown, black?

You can also let it soak over night and then wash it 2 times, just like doing beans.

I think soaking helps better

Which rice is better for someone that has cancer? Pls thank you

Hello, I have been thinking of was it the same level of arsenic in rice let say 3-4 -10 year s ago or it has appeared just recently? Would be interesting to get answer .... Obviously you cannot answer it I guess, am asking just in theory....

█ █ I get my brown Basmati rice from Smart Food Service (formerly Cash & Carry). Lots of store locations. Grown in the foothills of the Himalayas. 10# bag for about $10. It's my understanding that a lot of U.S. brown rice is grown in soil formerly used to grow tobacco and that's where much of the arsenic comes from. █ █

Omg

I should have watched this video first. I tried removing the aresenic and eneded up with rice mush😢.

Question: does it matter if you used water straight from the tap? Given hat virtually all municipal water companies fluoridate the water; is rinsing the rice with fluoride water safe?

I always check the origin of rice I buy. Why does she say we have no way of knowing where the rice comes from? Maybe that’s a good place to start.

Hi Good Evening It seems to me that washing so much the rice could become mazacotudo or sticky

if u throw the water even after cooking, so u r throwing most nutrients, so add only required water in cooking.

This type of cooking method is good for diabetic? Arsenic n strach both are same meaning? Our traditional method rice cook in this method to remove strach from white rice... We get all nutritional by this type of cooking mam?

vitamin b complex are lost. how to avoid it?

i cook my rice in a coffee maker let the arsnic drain in coffe pot

Thank you, this is too much work but I would do it if it is efficient. Do you have a scientific proof that this reduces arsenic? And by how much ?

Use organic, if possible. Helps minimise pollution additives.

Before cooking, I leave it in water for 24 hours. Then cook it into a Korean rice machine. Never heard about arsenic in rice.

Thx for the video. With all the water used, I think I'll save my water and just not eat rice.

Great... good Idea. now how you justify rinsing with alllll the crap that is in Tap water? Chlorine, Benzine etc.. I guess the risk lesser than arsenic that does acclimate in your body. I will start rinsing my brown rice.. Thank you.

Arsenic in brown rice ??? I've NEVER heard of that. And I'm 59 years old.

If rice is that toxic, I would eat something else.

Soaking it overnight

Rice require more water to grow It also require more water to cook I think it also require more water to digest 😉

Is this proven scientically?

Aren't you rinsing rice in water that has the toxic fluoride and chemicals from pills, etc. ? And what about organic rice? Is it full of arsenic?

Arsenic???!!!! Really?

I believe the way you prepared the brown rice lost huge amounts its nutrients.

Maybe just eat pasta
