Easy Instant Pot Mexican Rice (oilfree, wfpb)

Author says:

I recommend you buy brown rice that was grown in California, India, Thailand, or Pakistan because of the potential exposure to inorganic arsenic. Avoid buying rice that was grown in the “cotton belt” – Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. Even though the use of arsenic has been discontinued it persists in the soil and the rice soaks it up when growing; even if the product says organic it can still have arsenic if grown in these areas. Read the side of the bag to see where it was grown to make sure. Lundberg is a good brand of rice that is grown in California.
