Description

Brown rice is an unrefined, unpolished whole grain produced by removing the surrounding hull of the rice kernel. The grain retains its nutrient-dense bran and germ layer. It is chewier as compared with white rice and has a nutty flavor.

Germinated brown rice, also known as ‘sprouted brown rice’, may be a healthier version which can be prepared at home. It can be stored in dried form to increase its shelf life without affecting its advanced nutritional worth.

The high nourishing content of the germinated version is considered to be due to the presence of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The germinated form can be obtained by soaking and sprouting of the brown rice in water for a specified number of hours. This method has been considered best for obtaining the maximum amount of GABA and elevating the levels of proteins and beneficial enzymes in the germinated variety.
