“We understand that ‘arsenic’ is an alarming word, but we believe it is important for consumers to know that arsenic is a naturally occurring element in our air, water, rocks and soil. This is how plants uptake arsenic. As a result, it’s always been in the food supply and is in many healthy foods that are consumed by billions of people every day. No arsenical pesticides are used when growing U.S. rice.

But I've been buying it from an Asian store recently, and I believe it's from China.

I believe that this is a U.S. issue mainly since we have a large amount of arsenic in our soil due to previous pesticide use. I posted a link in a comment I made earlier that talks about rice in different countries, so you should find out where your rice is coming from.
Edit: looking back at the article, it says to avoid European rice, particularly from Italy!

I did a search on brown rice and found out that brown rice is very rich in amino acids, and contains minerals and some vitamins. I couldn't get it to show me anything about red rice or basmati rice.
the search tool is in the top right corner of the website.
have fun! try Kale...SUPER FOOOOD!

Yes. i have read. as always italian people have to make them recognize in all the world...
I have searched nutritional values for basmati rice especially for minerals (iron,zync etc) and vitamins and difference between basmati and brown rice because i want to substitute with basmati.
Anyone know the difference and the nutritional values especially minerals for basmati?
and the same for red rice if someone know.
