Thank you cmplxty! All photos are mine. Soaking rice helps to remove some of the phytic acid. And by continuing to use the leftover water/whey, it helps to remove more phytic acid each time. As for the arsenic, it’s best to include food which neutralizes the effects in the same meal as the rice. For example, in this recipe the cabbage and onion neutralize the arsenic. But always remember to rinse the rice thoroughly after the soak.
