Asian grocery stores are good for both, and white supermarkets may have the big sacks of brown rice in places with demand for it. Aldi also has some cheap beans. Rice is higher in arsenic than other grains. California-grown tends to have less arsenic than the south and parts of Asia.

>So, bottom line, until we know more, my current thinking on the matter is: if you really like rice, you can moderate your risk by cutting down, choosing lower-arsenic varieties, and cooking it in a way to lower exposure even further. But, if you like other whole grains just as much—like if you simply don’t care either way if you have rice vs. quinoa, or whatever, I’d choose the lower-arsenic option.

It's the grain that millennials are using to murder South Americans

Really not a problem for anyone now that it's grown other places and mechanized. I get it just because it's cheaper than most other whole grains. Usually grinding and eating it as a hot cereal.

if you're trying to save money have you considered lentils? They're as cheap and they're easy to sprout. I make lentils sprout sometimes and sauté them with vegetables.
I've found that a 24 hours cycle yields the best result. They develop a nutty flavor when they're cooked. More than 24 hours and they start to taste bitter like plants.
To prepare them I put about 2-3 tablespoons of dried lentils in a bowl filled with water the day before at dinner time and I let them soak overnight.
When I wake up in the morning I throw away the water, I rinse the lentils and the bowl properly and then I let the lentils sprout in the bowl on the counter during the day. The bowl doesn't contain water anymore but it's still wet.
In the evening I rinse them again and they're ready to use.
After 24 hours the lentils barely sprouted but it's normal. If you continue the process they will look like in the picture. Or course you can do the same with beans but it's a little more complicated.

Dry beans come in a little 1lb bag $.75 to 1.30 tops. Don't forget to look at superior-to-dry frozen seasonal beans like Pictsweet brand: like black eyed, field snap peas, butter beans, heirloom speckled beans, esp at Wal-Mart where they come in giant 5lb bags near the frozen veggies. Pick up frozen soup, sofrito, and other helper veggies too. Look in the Hispanic groceries/section too for some more caribbean varieties of dried. Wash them in a colander or big bowl of water with copious water. Swirl them around with your fingers, picking through any odd looking ones, peels that float, twigs or plant stems, and god forbid but actually possible, rocks, pebbles that are the same size as beans and could break your tooth. Soak overnight, and cook normally the next day 45min-2 hours typically, baked on bean size, or follow the package directions for something called the quick-soak method. Enhance with a finish of lemon/lime, herbs.

Brown rice is very perishable; the bran part, the brown part has trace fats, and those fats go rancid like nutmeat spoils. At first turned rice tastes a little like cardboard, and then actually spoiled bad. I wouldn't buy it from an asian market, in a giant sized bag, or otherwise, but at a normal grocery that has high turnover and fresh-organic health loving shoppers who buy it often. Try starting with just 1 bag at a time, esp for 1 person. The cost is negligible buying brown in bulk But, by all means buy a bag each in larger sizes of several varieties of rice: basmati, jasmine, valencia, long grain, and enjoy the variety.

It's probably the next best place after the "make an LLC and pretend to be a business to order bulk foods" store
