A good thing about Certified Organic products (like rice, potatoes, and corn, etc.) is that they do not use Cryolite, an insecticide which has fluoride, when being raised in the field, but it is also good if it is grown without fluoridated water. Lundberg rice, I believe, is a good Organic rice and fluoride free.
From an email from Lundberg Ag Division: (USDA Organic Certified Rice)
"All of our Organic rice is produced in compliance within the USDA National Organic Program standards, which prohibits the use of any synthetic substances. We are very fortunate here in California to have relatively few insect pests that would require use of a “pesticide.” The only appropriate items that we have available would be a Bt material.
We irrigate our rice systems from 2 sources…deep wells and gravity-delivered water from local irrigation districts, neither of which involve any processing or adulteration prior to delivery to our fields. The primary water source that re-charges both of these systems is the pristine snowpack that annually falls upon the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Northern California. As the snow melts in the springtime, the water is either captured by reservoirs or percolates into the underground aquifers. We do not utilize any “fluoridated” potable water sources for our production activities.
If you have any further questions concerning our production techniques or protocols, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Thanks for your time and consideration in this matter.
Kindest personal regards, Lance Benson
