>And what is rice washing anyway?

There's an argument that you should wash your rice before you cook it to remove contaminants, particularly arsenic, which is a common soil contaminant.

It also removes starches from the rice, which can result in a cleaner/less sticky pot of rice where the individual grains are better defined.

I would avoid any rice grown in the United States if you’re concerned about arsenic levels.

Seems like organic rice grown in California is actually lower than the average levels in many other countries?

I don't think simply washing rice appreciably reduces arsenic levels. It's just to get rude rid of the loose rice flour that grinds off during shipping/handling
