Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I second the recommendation for Lundberg rice. They seem to be a conscientious company, and their rice is very tasty!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yes, but in order to be certified, the soil needs to be tested for traces of toxins. It's not just like you can say, I'm not using any toxic pesticides and you get certified. Ellen Re: brown rice ellen wrote: > Wouldn't any certified organic rice be free from arsenic?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I love Lundberg Farms rice! All of their combinations are so tasty to me. But unfortunately, my POTS really flares after carbs so I am not eating much of it. I will put 1/3 cup of any one of their mixes in soup which is a nice change. Regarding arsenic - it is not only in the soil, it is also found in water, naturally occurring. Some parts of the country are worse than others. So, it could still have arsenic even if the soil is clear. And lastly, it's only TRULY organic if they process their own products. For example, with produce, an organic farmer drives his truck up to the processing plant and his pristine produce gets put on the SAME conveyor belts as all of the other produce where it picks up pesticides. So, be sure to wash organic veggies as well. As far as Lundberg, hopefully they are big enough to use all of their own equipment and processing facilities. I don't know how rice is harvested. Arsenic was very high on my first heavy metals test but was removed first through DMPS chelation. Marti > > > Wouldn't any certified organic rice be free from arsenic? > > No, not necessarily.
