China. The arsenic level was 3ppm most others are 300ppm. Im an conscientious of heavy metals myself and organic has to do with pesticides not heavy metals. Also What many people do not understand is that Arsenic can also occur in an organic form. Inorganic arsenic compounds are highly toxic while organic arsenic compounds (such as those found in seafood) are far less harmful. Your body can expel organic forms of it and organic forms of arsenic are pretty much in most all soils in some amount. What you need to find out is the amount of inorganic arsenic in a product. Most every product, even grown in USA contains some level of arsenic. What you need to look at and be concerned with is if organic and inorganic are listed separately with more focus on the ppm of the inorganic arsenic.

I think it's great. Some people are talking about arsenic. What many people do not understand is that Arsenic can also occur in an organic form. Inorganic arsenic compounds are highly toxic while organic arsenic compounds (such as those found in seafood) are far less harmful. Your body can expel organic forms of it and organic forms of arsenic are pretty much in most all soils in some amount. What you need to find out is the amount of inorganic arsenic in a product. Most ever product even grown in USA contains some level of arsenic. What you need to look at and be concerned with is organic and inorganic

Q: Is this rice steamed or irradiated before packaging to the U.S. ?

Our Organic Forbidden Rice is steamed prior to packaging to the U.S. Did you know that foods that have been irradiated cannot be labeled as certified organic?

Q: Is this the same as purple rice?
