Price of rice in Japan falls below ¥4k per 5kg

Arsenic in rice is on the rise. There is a chart in this article, on how to reduce that.

That method is for long-grain rice used in other parts of Asia, simply unfit for Japanese rice(or vice versa). It's just their highly British form of humor and customary jest.

I'd suggest Brits ban full leaved teas in favor of microwaved teabags while at it.

The study is a British joke? What are you talking about?

It seems to work with all rice, just with varying effectiveness.

Why do you think the study is targeting Japan? And why would the Brits joke about it?

Do you think I am? It's just good, general info. Arsenic in rice is problem, and getting worse.

I wonder why you would claim something like this, which literally can save lives, is false?

Parboiling and draining rice has been a long-running European joke. Frenches do it as well. It absolutely ruin all short grains. It's a cooking method specifically for long grain rice as used in South Asian cooking, for which steaming would be wrong. And that is the point.

Something is missing in our exchange here.

Why would people purposefully ruin their food to make a joke? I sincerely doubt entire nations of people cook their food, purposefully ruining it, then laugh over the fact.

"Oh that rice was terrible! Let's cook it that way again!"

Yet you've attested this twice now, and in a thread discussing how to remove deadly arsenic from rice.

You seem to want to discredit this study. You've claimed the study was false, was made up in jest.

It's not some weird joke.

Whatever you're trying to say, please don't do it by trying to discredit something designed to save lives. It's uncool.
