0ari Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 re: arsenic in rice. it can be greatly reduced if you soak overnight, cook with extra water so it doesn't all absorb back in, when done cooking rinse with hot water. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-38910848 What do you all think: Is this enough to make it safe? You can also switch to things like buckwheat groats, oat groats, quinoa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I personally avoid all grains, including rice. Of course, to the best of my knowledge, the only grain containing significant inorganic arsenic is rice. -- Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianA Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I switched from brown rice a couple years back to buckwheat groats. If you don't overcook the buckwheat it has a similar consistency to brown rice, makes a decent replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of buckwheat, it is low GI, and has way more magnesium than the average grain (if you want to call it that)... it also is very cheap and easy to cook.
