[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. [/quote] 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] It drains out extra starch - but this is applicable to certain rice varieties only, helps store it longer too. I do this with white rice. For brown rice, I pre-soak for at least 4 hours. Also, apparently cooling down rice before consuming it changes the nature of starch and colorific content of rice for the better. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/can-you-eat-cold-rice https://www.bbc.com/news/health-32019176[/quote]
