I don't know if this is true. But I understand that rinsing rice before cooking takes most of the arsenic away, because it resides in that starchy layer surrounding the kernel. Different types of rice (grown in different areas of the world) have different potentials for arsenic, too. The article linked below doesn't specifically mention Jasmine rice, but I think rice grown in SE Asia has less arsenic. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index.htm
Brown rice is so much better, and better for you. I'll never understand why they strip away the fiber and nutrients to make it white, then spray it with "nutrients" and call it fortified.
Brown rice goes rancid after between 6 months and a year. You can't store that, but you can store white rice for up to 30 years if you package it right in a mylar bag with no oxygen.
Rinse until water runs clear - may take several passes. It pays to invest in a good rice cooker also - makes it perfect every time and doesn’t stick to the pot.
When we were a young family it was a staple at every meal because it was cheap and easy to prepare. I could still eat jasmine rice every day and never get tired of it :-)
Go keto and you’ll lose the belly fat in two months. And I mean flat stomach. Healthy keto. Veggies (not the super starchy ones like taters) and meat only

Brown is dirty. White is clean. Pay attention!! ;)
Brown doesn't last as long as white. Keep that in mind for the long term preps!
Both brown and white can be frozen. I have stocked bags in my freezer now.
Copy. Though I was being a smart ass mimicking their rhetoric.
Thanks!

I did not know that... Thanks!
Interesting info, thanks! Never bothered to rinse my rice before but I most certainly will now!

My rice sister! I am definitely going to try your cooking method! 😋

Most Asian grocery stores will have a rice washing bowl. Kind of like a special colander. I love mine.
