[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, washing rice three times before cooking removes arsenic.

Boiling rice in lots of water (like pasta) and draining the liquid out reduces arsenic even more, and it reduces  a significant amount of starch. Making it more suitable for giving to babies and people who want to lower their carbs.

Can you tell me more about this? How does cooking rice that way lower the carbs in rice? And also, how do you do it? Cook for the same amount of time, but then just drain?[/quote]

Yes, you can cook rice in more water than needed (just like you do for pasta). Then once the rice is cooked, you can remove the extra starchy water by draining the rice using a strainer or just draining the water like you do with pasta.

People use the starch water to starch their cotton clothes, drink it as drink called Kanji, feed it to cattle or use it to increase nutrients in soil. There are many uses of starch water. I prefer to not drain out any starch water (pasta or rice) in the drain and instead I water my vegetable garden with the water that I use to rinse the rice before cooking as well as the starch water from cooking.
