LOL, I just stocked up as well. I was relieved to find the Basmati rice from India as well as domestic rice from CA was lower. I think it is more MSN panic porn all in all. Thanks for the heads up.Strange article it is like it is saying be concerned but not really. Maybe I'm comprehending it wrong . I just stocked up on Rice maybe why it was on sale.

Not affected, as I only rarely eat rice. Being grain-free is good!

There was an influx of Assyrians into the central valley of CA about 30 years ago and kabob places started appearing on every corner--with a lot of basmati rice being used. I really became a fan and we've been using it exclusively for some time now. Light, aromatic, not sticky. Just like we like it.

I like rice but I try not to eat it unless I'm at a Sushi place...
I grew up with it as an almost every night thing since my step grandfather was part Japanese... he cooked it all the time....

I heard it has to do with rice being grown in areas adjacent to old cotton fields.
Rice grown in former cotton fields often contains higher levels of arsenic. These fields were previously treated with arsenic pesticides for cotton crops in the southeastern US. Arsenic-tolerant strains of rice are sometimes grown in these areas.

I thought it would be California rice grown in the Sacramento area.

I love basmati! I used to frequently eat in Middle Eastern places, and the Lebanon Restaurant in Seattle made the most incredible Shish Tawook! The rice was irresistible.

Having a Japanese husband and in-laws, I learned to love sushi, especially inari sushi (gunny sacks)! My mother-in-law's sushi rice was great!
Family dinners, ma-in-law made the rice and the granddaughters made gigantic platters of inari.

LOL, I was born in Tokyo and have spent a couple years in the country. I have never been able to get comfortable with sushi or much other Japanese food. I do like Japanese fried rice and curried chicken--I still make the recipe for curried chicken that I learned there--but that is about the extent of it.

Some of the sashimi (raw fish) just wouldn't go into my mouth, like sea urchin. Just not gonna happen. I loved tako (octopus) with white flesh and fresh fish flavor.

I tried both the octopus and squid that was bbq'd in the parks. Didn't mind the squid, but wasn't much for the octopus. Stands to reason as I love calamari and abalone.

I love rice, but it's been a while since I last bought any. When I do get any, I get that stuff called minute rice that can go into the microwave.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. I could eat chicken fried rice all day and still not be sick of it, I love it so much.

Even though I don't eat them, I have stored some for other uses, should the need arise.

Just found this when researching the story, in case you have every kind of rice that exists on the face of the Earth in your storage pantry like me, EXCEPT any Parboiled Rice which is suppose to be safer and with less arsenic.
Anyway....here is a remedy...sort of...I'd have to try the method out on my Risotto recipe and figure out when to add the different ingredients and figure out how much less time I should cook it, because the Arborio rice was parboiled for 5 minutes then drained....
But if you are eating plain white rice, I read to just boil it like spaghetti in a ton of water, then drain it in a strainer, like spaghetti and that will remove almost all arsenic...if you have young children, you should do this!

Parboiling Reduces Arsenic and Preserves Nutrients in Rice
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in varying degrees in all soils and water, meaning that some foods, like rice, naturally contain low levels of arsenic depending on where and how it’s grown. Luckily, certain cooking and processing methods can dramatically decrease the level of arsenic rice. In this study, researchers found that parboiling your brown rice can remove up to 54% of unwanted heavy metals like arsenic from your rice (outperforming soaking or rinsing), and can also preserve important micronutrients such as zinc. You can achieve this at home by boiling your rice for 5 minutes and setting it aside for when you’re ready to cook it. You can also buy parboiled rice at the store.The Science of the Total Environment. 2021 Feb 10;755(Pt 2):143341. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143341.(Menon M et al.)
