The following tips should help reduce the arsenic content of your rice:
- Use plenty of water when cooking.
- Wash the rice before cooking. This method may remove 10–28% of the arsenic (45, 47).
- Brown rice contains higher amounts of arsenic than white rice. If you eat large amounts of rice, the white variety may be a better choice (12, 49, 50).
- Choose aromatic rice, such as basmati or jasmine (51).
- Choose rice from the Himalayan region, including North India, North Pakistan and Nepal (7).
- If possible, avoid rice that is grown during the dry season. The use of arsenic-contaminated water is more common during that time (7, 23).
