Advantage of the Parboiled and Absorbed (PBA) method
Saving water, energy, and cooking time
Practical in domestic
Effective in reducing inorganic Arsenic(s) with a 54% and 73% reduction
Raising margin of exposure by x2.2 and x3.7
ONLY method suited to all rice varieties in order to obtain a desirable MOE for all population groups
Loss of nutrients was similar or less than in comparison to other methods

The parboiled and absorbed (PBA) method removed 54% & 73% inorganic arsenic (iAs) from brown & white rice. The PBA method raised margin of exposure (MOE) by 3.7 and 2.2 times for white and brown rice, respectively. Read the paper for this method's graphical abstract and step by step guide.
