The amount of arsenic in rice depends on the variety of rice and where it was grown. Brown rice absorbs more arsenic while growing than white, with basmati rice regularly having the lowest levels when tested. Regional differences matter too. The Southern United States, particularly Texas and Louisiana, have higher levels of arsenic potentially due to residual contamination from pesticides used to control the weevil population, while grains grown in California seem to have the lowest levels of all the rice grown in the U.S.
