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. **Q: After reading so many negative reviews...Why is this still being sold by Amazon???** A: 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.

We love this and it’s a great value. Cooks up very quick and easy in my instapot! I love that it’s organic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2024* I have loved black rice since the first time I tried it in a Thai forbidden rice dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Now that my inflammatory PCOS has been acting up, I need to take my health seriously and treat myself like a prediabetic. I found out that with inflammatory PCOS many people have a histamine intolerance to foods. So basically I'm very limited on the foods I eat because even healthy foods can cause weight gain or chronic inflammation on top of make PCOS symptoms much worse.Black rice is lower on the glycemic index and is low histamine. Which is great for inflammatory PCOS management. I eat about 1/2 - 1 cup per meal daily, and it never spikes my blood sugar above 135. I also make it in batches, mix in a bit cold pressed virgin coconut oil, and then freeze it. (You can't have left overs with a histamine intolerance. Everything needs frozen as soon as you cook it if there's left overs.) It microwaves or thaws out in a pan well. It doesn't get a nasty texture or even loose flavor. I think the coconut oil preserves the texture and flavor best. With a tiny amount of Celtic salt.I've been eating a lot of boiled chicken, black rice, kale, beets, onions, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and tahini bowls. Sometimes throw in some cilantro, chia, flax and pumpkin seeds. I've lost about 30 lbs so far and feel satisfied with every meal. Especially adding in black rice. If I don't eat any black rice I feel starved. So this is a great whole grain to have if you can't have many of the others.Black rice is nutty, so you can make it savory or sweet. Sometimes I heat up the black rice with a little coconut milk and blueberries. No sugar or substitutes, but it has a semi sweet profile and that way doesn't spike blood sugar for me also.It is worth buying in bulk. I'll go through this bag in 2 months, or maybe 3. First time buying this so I'm not sure. You get way more value buying in bulk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it...Your opinion may vary. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 25, 2026* Fresh!! Delivery date until "Best By" date is 22 months and 9 days. 30 minutes cook time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lotus Foods Bulk Organic Forbidden Rice - Black Rice Organic, Purple Rice, Black Rice Bulk, Gluten Free Heirloom Rice, Whole Grain, Non GMO, Vegan - 15 Oz Bags (Pack of 6) - Jasberry - Organic Superfood Rice, Soft & Aromatic Whole Grain Purple Rice, High in Antioxidants, Non-GMO, Gluten-free, Easy to cook, Versatile USDA Certified Organic, Vegan (15 Oz Resealable Zip Bag) - Lotus Foods Organic Red Rice, slightly nutty flavor, 15 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12234359-lotus-foods-bulk-organic-forbidden-rice-non-gmo-15-oz](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12234359-lotus-foods-bulk-organic-forbidden-rice-non-gmo-15-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
