There are steps you can take to remove some of the arsenic from rice before eating:
1Rinse rice when its raw to take out about 10% of the arsenic in it.
2Boil rice like pasta with six cups of water for every one cup of rice to remove an additional 40% to 60% of the arsenic.
3After boiling the rice, pour off the remaining water, then rinse the cooked rice again
第一步,认真淘洗;第二步,用6倍的水煮米,然后把水倒掉;第三步,再次淘洗,然后用普通程序煮饭。
该研究说,虽然这样降低了稻米的营养价值,但可以大大降低摄入砷的风险。
