One of the most widely used items in children's food is rice and rice flour!
But you need to know that rice absorbs the heavy metal arsenic ten times more than other agricultural products due to its structure and abundant irrigation during cultivation. On the other hand, rice may be infected with molds that produce toxins during improper cultivation, processing and storage.
Consumption of contaminated rice can cause diseases such as autism and cancer, which is more serious in children. Because children, considering their body weight compared to adults, eat more and their detoxification systems are weaker, and besides, most of their meals are made with rice or rice flour.
Unfortunately, sometimes the rice flour available in the market is made from low-quality, old, pest-infected rice and rice crumbs. So it is preferable to make rice flour at home using high quality rice for your child's food!
