Welcome to the Germinating Brown Rice Page Benefits Page
Oh no! Now I have to germinate brown rice too!... Yes you do. All these things... brewing kefir and kombucha maybe fermenting grains and veggies with tibicos can get to be very routine and I do them everyday and they are second nature... Once you are doing them it is like on auto pilot and then it is nice to have kefir mixed with blueberry juice and then to sit with someone and have some kombucha. How great is it to have some fermented cucumber or mango and then why not have brown rice that is germinated or sprouted. It is so good for you and it taste so good as well; plus it cooks so much faster than regular rice and feels so much better in your belly after you eat it.... and then of course the fiber and the amino acids and the vitamins, the blood sugar balancing, all the benefits of the germinated brown rice for so little effort and no cost at all.... get into it
One of the reasons we want to get brown rice into our diet is because brown rice contains; among other things, the amino acid GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid. GABA is one of the things baseball players take from a needle to heal faster and weightlifters take to loose fat. The GABA contained in brown rice stimulates the production of human growth hormone in a natural and safe; yet, significant way.
Some of the other benefits from GABA are an improved sleep cycle, lower blood pressure, an improved immune system and it proportably inhibits the development of cancer cells, It assists the treatment of anxiety disorders because it is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter.
There is 10 times more of the amino acid GABA in brown rice than in white rice and there is twice the amount of the amino acid GABA in germinated or sprouted brown rice than in plain brown rice. When the brown rice is germinated in green tea the amount of the amino acid and other nutrients increases again and I suspect that when the green tea germinated brown rice is fermented in kombucha tea or water kefir the benefits will increase again
The taste of germinated brown rice is more enjoyable than plain brown rice, as the sugars held captive in the grains jacket are broken down and released. After eating germinated brown rice the feeling in the body is lighter than after eating plain brown rice.
The possiblity of dehydrating and fermenting the germinated brown rice add to the versatility and variety for the consumption of the germinated brown rice. Brown rice based granola and brown rice bread are some examples.
Germinated or sprouted brown rice would be a great way to help increase your metabolic balance and to lose weight. It would be a great thing to get into your regular diet. I bought a foot massager and I fill it up with hot water, I place brown rice in a hemp bag. I cover the brown rice with green tea to the point where it is about 2 inches above the brown rice. I put the hemp bag in the hot water of the foot massager and leave it in for 22 hours changing the tea 3 times to make sure the tea germinating the brown rice is clean and free from any bacteria I don't want.
