Rice

Bat-Sheva Pitusi's recipe is easy to prepare and requires minimal effort. Simply sauté the onion, add the rice, peas, and dill, pour in the water, and let the pot do the rest. It pairs perfectly with chicken or meat, or can be enjoyed as a standalone dish with a fresh salad.

Many of us automatically wash rice before it goes into the pot, but is this action really necessary from a health perspective? In a recently published post, dietitian Yarden Ovadia explains what washing can actually remove, why it almost does not solve the problem of arsenic, and what can still be done to reduce exposure to it.
